Cape Discovery Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Being able to harvest from more than one vineyard and more than one climate makes this an exciting wine. Further to this, we harvested on three different ripeness levels giving this wine a complex nose of asparagus, green figs, melons. Fresh acidity, not overbearing, rounded, with a bit of sweetness, a perfect coastal Sauvignon Blanc. Discover our Sauvignon blanc!!!
