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
This wine offers a complex bouquet featuring delicate floral elements, grapefruit, stone fruit, and lime, complemented by subtle wood spice. On the palate, it is rich and textured, underpinned by an incredible mineral backbone, leading to a focused, tight, and stony finish with complex blackcurrant-tinged fruit. The 15 months on lees in older oak barrels impart richness that balances its brilliant acidity and hinted tannic grip.
Food Pairing
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.
