Darling Reserve Bush Vines Sauvignon Blanc 2026

This wine shows layers of minerality and tropical fruits on the nose. A bouquet of green fig and asparagus, leads to a delightful tropical fruit palate of melon and passionfruit. These flavours are supported by a vibrant acidity that keeps the palate fresh.

Subtle flinty nuances underpin vibrant layers of passion fruit and zesty lemon, creating a wine of precision and energy. An elegant partner to sushi and white meat dishes featuring fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, asparagus, basil, or sweet green peas.

The Darling Reserve Bush Vines collection presents single-varietal wines that emphasize fruit-driven profiles, honouring both varietal character and their origin: Darling.

Bush-vines Sauvignon Blanc is a rare expression in the Cape. Rooted in unirrigated, clay-rich, decomposed red granite soils, these naturally low-yielding vines deliver fruit of striking intensity and finesse.
in the vineyard : Terroir: Vineyards strategically planted on South-West facing slopes to capture cool breezes from the Atlantic Ocean and cold Benguela current. Deep soils from decomposed granite, clay rich, with good drainage.

Vineyard type: Bush Vine, no irrigation
Yield: 6-8 t/ha
about the harvest: Balling at Harvest: 21-22°B
in the cellar : Destalk and crush, 14 days fermentation at 14-15°C. Grapes and juice handled reductively to prevent oxidation and lock in fruitiness.
Maturation: Left on lees until bottling to add complexity.
