Hermanuspietersfontein
The name originates from the founder of Hermanus Hermanus Pieters who in 1855 helped take a little fisherman’s village and turn it into the town it is today. This name has given them the title of longest Afrikaans name for a cellar in the world. Their wines are just as uniquely named with the HPF brand being the only wine cellar in South Africa to use Afrikaans-only names. The non-serious attitude has also led to a well-loved reputation as a fun and laid-back winery with the owner commenting that “while we don’t take ourselves seriously we’re serious about making good wines”.
Description
Aroma: Elegant aromas of exotic fruit (starfruit, dragon fruit), undertones of tropical aromas (passionfruit and ripe pineapple) and yellow fruit (peaches). Palate: Harmonious, elegant and well-rounded supported by crisp freshness, good length supported by minerality at the end.
Food Pairing
Sauvignon blanc is best paired with a chalky Goats cheese or a creamy chicken and mushroom casserole.
