Koopmanskloof Golden Peacock Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Pale straw colour. Lively tropical aromas of citrus lime and orange blossoms on the nose. Unwooded style. Palate shows excellent concentration of varietal characters with a satisfying finish to extended lees contact with primary fermentation. A truly well balanced, easy drinking, fruit driven style.

Enjoy on its own, or with Kingklip or with a variety of chicken dishes.

Koopmanskloof Vineyards and its wine making tradition date back to 1777. The name depict the profession and location of an indigenous community who embrased fair trade with the first European ships to visit the Cape of Good Hope during the 16th century. Koopmans is Dutch for trader and 'Kloof' is a Ravine.  Late owner, Stevie Smit, set aside 98 ha of his farm as a fynbos reserve and started the Vineyard Trail - a 24 km walk through vineyards and mountain heath along the ridge of the Bottelary Hills. Adding to the outdoor experience, the 'Berghut' was build in 1983, situated on Koopmanskloof hills, overlooking the beautiful Cape Winelands.
