Constantia Glen Sauvignon Blanc 2018

This wine shows the coolness of the vintage with such clarity, that with a single sip, it becomes almost tangible. The rich, textured, palate with its striking mineral edge can be credited to meticulous attention in the cellar, where it remained on the lees in stainless steel tanks for 5 months prior to bottling. This expressive effort has weight due to a small portion of 2% Sémillon poising its razor sharp acidity, to result in a clean, lingering finish.

Ahi tuna poke bowl with fresh lime, avocado and edamame beans. Crostini with poached figs and goats’ cheese. Vietnamese Bún chà. Poached scallops with a wasabi lime granita.
