Fleur Du Cap
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.
Description
This Sauvignon Blanc has a clear, pale straw color with greenish hues. On the nose, it displays a bouquet of fresh citrus aromas such as lime and lemon, along with tropical fruit notes including passion fruit and guava. There are also hints of green pepper and freshly cut grass, which are characteristic of Sauvignon Blanc. The palate is crisp and medium-bodied, with flavors of green apple, grapefruit, and a touch of gooseberry. The wine's bright acidity provides a refreshing finish, making it an approachable and versatile white wine.
Food Pairing
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.
