Durbanville Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2016

The grapes were sourced from seven of the nine Durbanville Hills member farms where three farms have high altitude vineyards growing on the south-eastern slopes of the Hooge Bergs Valley. Cooled by mists and the southeaster, the lower than average temperatures make for slow ripening and intense flavor retention. The crucial flavor-producing ripening period for Sauvignon blanc grapes in February was much cooler than normal, resulting in high levels of crisp grassy and peppery flavors and the healthy grapes to ripened later than normal. Tasting: NOSE:A delightful combination of ripe green fig, starfruit, citrus, winter melon, grass and minerality.TASTE:This mouth-filling, elegant wine is a combination of green apple and sweet tropical fruit on the palate with a, lingering aftertaste.Food Pairing: Enjoy on its own, slightly chilled, or served with uncomplicated grilled fish, minestrone or tomato-based soup, vinaigrette dressed salad or a selection of cheeses such as feta, goats’ milk and haloumi.
