Simonsig first bottled a Sauvignon Blanc in 1978, but it was only in the last 10 years that the variety started to reach its potential. Meticulous attention to site and clonal selection as well as flavour manipulation in the vineyard through scientific canopy management consistently results in quality grapes packed with flavour. Sauvignon Blanc is essentially a variety where the quality originates in the terroir of the vineyard. Over the last few years new Sauvignon plantings were made on the coolest site on the Estate. At an altitude of 250 - 280 meters the vineyards overlook False Bay a mere 20 km away to the South.
Brilliant huge of light straw with youthful green tinge. Combustion of tropical fruit flavours combined with sassy green pepper and hints of asparagus. The crisp acidity and mineral notes ensures a lingering fresh finish.
A great friend to fine seafood, poultry and pasta dishes. A perfect aperitif on warm summer days.
