Cape Naturaliste Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Winemaking: Hand-picked and basket pressed, then fermented in stainless steel to keep the finish clean and fresh which is what this style is renowned for.
Tasting Notes: we're running out of things to say as our Sauvignon Blanc is just so consistently good and 2024 does not disappoint. The usual suspects reappear - big passionfruit, white nectarines, pears, and rockmelon. The palate is a full mouth explosion from the tip of your tongue traveling to your back molars – fresh cut citrus, juicy stone fruits and touches of lemongrass. The acidity initially hits the tongue but quickly flattens out – again there is no cat’s bum face feel, ending with a great palate length and overall freshness. A great wine to sip while contemplating that centuries old dilemma of whether or not belly button fluff exists.
