Zorgvliet Sauvignon Blanc 2006

This flagship white wine comes from a single block, high up on the Simonsberg Mountain, which is a 100% south facing. This wine is true to the terroir of the soil, vineyard and aspect where it originates from. The nose shows multi-layered tropical fruit with citrus and an abundance of green fig flavours. This is a mouth filling wine with a firm acidity that ensures a lingering after taste. This multi-layered complex Sauvignon Blanc shows distinct mineral and fig flavours on the finish that is unique to the site where it comes from.
