This flagship Bordeaux-style white blend shows Sauvignon taking the lead on the nose with dusty coastal fynbos and black currant leaf, while on the palate the Semillon fleshes out with fresh quince and ripe pear to deliver a creamy, textural palate. The presence of this complex wine lingers long after the last sip. Already showing its pedigree, this wine should preferably be held for a year or so to allow the Semillon to
develop its exquisite waxy, honeyed character while the Sauvignon will retain the balanced acidity and structure for the wine to perform its magic.
This complex wine will add a touch of elegance to any occasion. Pair it with creamy carbonara or alfredo pasta or caramelised onion and brie on crispy puff pastry. Keep it easy with grilled sole with lemon butter or allow the chef to come to the fore with a slow-cooked coq au vin blanc – replacing the traditional red wine with white wine.
