Sauvignon Blanc Reserve

This Sauvignon Blanc Reserve pairs excellently with fresh oysters, line fish, or can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif. Serving it moderately chilled between 10°C – 14°C enhances its flavors.

Grapes for this wine are hand-selected from three sea-facing vineyard parcels in the mid-levels of the estate, where a combination of fresh sea breezes and decomposed granite soils results in a wine with a distinct mineral edge.

The wine underwent maturation for 16 months in old French oak barrels, which contributes to its complexity and depth.

The grapes were hand-picked between 22°B and 23°B in the early morning and pressed as whole bunches. The juice was allowed to settle naturally over 8 hours. After fermentation, the wine was left on the fermentation lees for 16 months in old French oak to enhance the mouthfeel.

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.
