Essence Sauvignon Blanc

This wine pairs well with a variety of light dishes. Ideal pairings include seafood such as grilled fish, oysters, and prawns. It also complements fresh salads, goat cheese, and dishes with herbal or citrus-based sauces. Its refreshing acidity makes it a perfect aperitif for warm-weather gatherings​.

The grapes for this wine are sourced from selected vineyards in the Western Cape, where the cool maritime climate and varied soils enhance the grape's natural acidity and flavor concentration. Sustainable farming practices are employed to maintain the health of the vines and the quality of the fruit, ensuring the production of high-quality wines.

After hand-harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed, and fermentation occurs at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit character. This method helps retain the vibrant aromas and flavors that Sauvignon Blanc is known for, avoiding any heavy oak influence​.

Fleur du Cap (French for “Flower of the Cape”) is greatly inspired by the Cape Floral Kingdom – a wildflower region famed for its natural beauty and rich biodiversity – with each species blossoming in the specific soil and climate best suited to their needs. It is this Cape Floral Kingdom that has greatly inspired our wines to not be defined by a single place or vineyard. Our philosophy is based around the freedom to explore – to find our grapes where they grow best, rather than be constrained by district, farm, climate or even vineyard. Our winemakers have access to the widest geography of vineyards in South Africa. This unrestricted journey across the Cape Winelands is what allows them to craft highly-lauded wines which exemplify regional excellence.
