Whale Point Sauvignon Blanc

Whale Point Sauvignon Blanc

Region

The Western Cape is roughly the size of Greece and is the fourth largest province in South Africa. A temperate southern coastline is fringed by mountains whilst the north meets up with the Karoo plateau. The west coast of the province is extremely dry and windy. Two oceans meet on its coast; the cool Atlantic on the west and the warm Indian Ocean on the south coast. The weather is perfect for growing grapes – rainfall measures up to 40 inches a year, the mild Mediterranean weather provides the perfect climate and the ground is mainly sandy and rough.

Named after the migration of whales which occurs every year. These majestic creatures travel thousands of kilometres between the food rich waters of the Antarctica to the warmer waters of South Africa and beyond.

Tasting Notes

This Sauvignon Blanc from the Western Cape is pale lemon in colour with a very fresh nose of gooseberry, cut grass and lemon. The palate has vibrant aromatics of zesty lemon, white flowers and nettle. The lively acidity gives this wine a very crisp and fresh feel and combines with the fruity, citrussy flavours to provide a long and clean finish.

Food

Serve with oysters with lemon and chilli, crab or smoked salmon.
