Waterkloof -Circumstance Sauvignon Blanc 2019 (6 x 750 ml)

This Sauvignon Blanc is from one South Africa’s most windswept and coolest vineyards. The vines are mature at over 20 years old and are not fed with synthetic fertilizers. Production therefore is a miserly 3-4 tons per hectare (compared with a typical Stellenbosch yield of 10-20 tons per hectare). All this adds up to something very special.

Crushed laurel on the nose with more than a nuance of residual seaside salt. This has a big and textured palate with stone fruit and fennel hints – it is rich and minerally, showing even a slight rocky quality about it. As bracing as the wind through the vines at Waterkloof.

Drink with fresh oysters or fresh crayfish on the grill. Great with goat's cheese too.
