De Wetshof
The name De Wetshof has been synonymous with the production of fine wines in South Africa since the 1970’s. As the first registered wine estate in the Robertson Wine Valley De Wetshof has become known internationally as South Africa’s eminent Chardonnay House due to the pioneering role it played in introducing this noble Burgundian grape to the country. The De Wet family’s winemaking heritage can however be traced back to 1694 when the first De Wets arrived at the Cape and immediately made a mark on the South African wine industry. Today De Wetshof is one of the few third generation wine estates in South Africa. Here Danie de Wet proprietor and cellarmaster is assisted by sons Johann (viticulture and marketing) and Peter (winemaker).
Description
A crisp, cool-toned Sauvignon Blanc with a clean, precise expression. The nose shows fresh citrus, gooseberry and subtle green herb notes. The palate is light to medium bodied with bright acidity, focused fruit purity and a dry, refreshing finish that emphasises clarity and drinkability.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with fresh seafood, grilled fish, salads, asparagus dishes and goat’s cheese. Its crisp acidity also makes it suitable as an aperitif.
