Hermanuspietersfontein Nr. 5 Sauvignon Blanc 2012

This is the latest addition to our range of Sauvignon blancs. After years of experimenting with different wood types, we have finally hit the sweet spot. Excellent value for money and perfect for every day enjoyment.
Elegant aromas of green apple, nettles and freshly cut grass with soft pear and lanolin. Crisp acidity, long length with a velvety consistency and a clean finish. Harmonious balance with a seamless overall impression.

in the cellar : The market for wooded Sauvignon blanc is very small due to the lack of good wines in this class. Therefore we felt that Nr. 5 had to be one of the best.
