Wine Spectator January 2009 - 88 points and Top Value Wine for 2008 More tropical than grassy and more delicate than overpowering; pure fruit tones and excellent balance! Immediate varietal symphony and minerally rich on the palate.
ageing : A long and confirmed finish with every hint of spice make this wine ideal for early drinking. I clearly remember my first tasting experience of Sauvignon Blanc, a Californian wine presented by a visiting American grower at the wine college in Geisenheim on the Rhine River in Germany. This was one overriding flavour being "guava" which stood out in a triumphant and commanding way. Later at the fledging Boschendal winery I managed to secure a trial batch of grapes from an old vineyard in the Paardeberg. This was thirty years ago which reflects on how Sauvignon Blanc has rapidly expanded to its present strength of being the most popular wine in the local market.
