Cape Point Vineyards
Cape Point Vineyards is uniquely located in the Cape Peninsula where it is set rather majestically against the slopes of the famous Chapman’s Peak mountain range and overlooks the nearby Atlantic Ocean – a mere 1 2km’s away. Cool sea breezes along with ancient mountain soils make for a unique terroir with a late growing season that results in a world class Sauvignon Blanc with minerals tones and great complexity.
Description
Cape Point Vineyards signature Sauvignon Blanc contains a dash of Semillon and the use of oak. This wine showcases a shimmering hue of straw in colour and beautiful fruit forward aromas – ripe nectarine, passion fruit, gooseberries and fig. The wine’s palate is full and flavoured with racy acidity. Hints of oak spice gives the wine an extra layer of depth. This Sauvignon Blanc has a well-balanced yet complex mouth feel. It is silky smooth and rounded off by a long, lingering finish.
Food Pairing
The style of wine offers diversity. It is light enough to enjoy well chilled on it’s own yet it also offers enough weight and complexity to make it a wonderful food wine. Food and wine pairings include white cheeses such as chevin and brie, pasta’s, poultry and fish with green leafy vegetables such as basil pesto and kale, or tomatoes and olives.
