Doolhof Wine Estate Cape Loerie 2009

This delightful Sauvignon Blanc is an easy sipper.  The Doolhof Cape Series celebrates several of the unique animals and birds of Southern Africa.
The nose is dominated by an abundance of green pepper and gooseberry notes while the palate has a tropical character with a lime finish.

Its tall, elegant, rouded crest, which is tipped white, is a distinguishing feature. The Knysna Loerie is only found in the Knysna Forests along the south coast of South Africa.
