Aquiline Sauvignon Blanc

Bottle notes

Fresh lime citrus nose, with ripe stone fruit and tropical notes and hint lemon grass. Green apple and ripe citrus characters on the palate with cleansing acidity and a nice streak of minerality on the finish.

Most of the grapes are harvested around the Franschhoek valley. Hand-picked in the early morning. It was then softly pressed to tank and settled for 2 days, then racked to a fermentation tank. After fermentation the wine stays on its fine lees for 5 months until bottling.

Our home-grown South African winemaking team of JD Rossouw, Ryno Booysen and Pierre Louw drive the energy and enthusiasm for expressing the loveliest wines from their country, along with Samantha Bailey's expertise in finesse. The key is knowing the characteristics of each plot, understanding the benefits each cultivar can bring, breaking rules and pushing boundaries. We use a combination of knowledge, a love of nature and science to create versatile, expressive and food-friendly wines from a country that has been making wine for 360 years.

Perfect with Peri-Peri chicken or asparagus and lemon risotto.
