Lievland
Lievland’s history dates back to 1715, when the original farm was granted to the ex-soldier Jurie Hanekom. Lievland lies on the western slopes of the Simonsberg mountains between Stellenbosch and Paarl, two of the most prominent wine-growing areas in the Cape. The climate, location, and soil on the slopes are conducive to the cultivation of high-quality grapes, and some of the Cape’s best-known wines are made here. Lievland is all about "the here and now", and their wines are made in a generous fruit-forward, well-extracted style.
Description
This traditional Bordeaux-style white blend is from the 2 oldest vineyards on Lievland. The Sauvignon Blanc vineyard was planted in 1983 and the Semillon in 1991. Lievland has a long history of producing top quality barrel-fermented white wines. This wine has a classic bouquet with subtle notes of gooseberries, figs, oyster shell and white stone fruit. The palate boasts lime and passion fruit with a fine texture and crisp finish.
Food Pairing
Best enjoyed with seafood and lighter meat dishes.
