Black Elephant Vintners
Black Elephant Vintners is a South African wine brand known for its playful and unconventional approach to winemaking. Based in Franschhoek, the winery was founded by Kevin Swart, Raymond Ndlovu, and Jacques Wentzel. The name "Black Elephant" is a combination of Swart ("black" in Afrikaans) and Ndlovu (which means "elephant" in Zulu), with Jacques being the vintner.
Description
This wine presents a vibrant and opulent nose with aromas of fynbos, lychee, pear drops, Granny Smith apples, and grapefruit. On the palate, it delivers lively flavors of passionfruit and gooseberry, complemented by richness from the barrel-fermented portion, finishing with fresh acidity and a subtle flintiness.
Food Pairing
This Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with shellfish, goat’s cheese, and light fish dishes like grilled fish or prawn cocktails. It is also well-suited to fresh vegetarian dishes, such as a globe artichoke salad.
