"(2017) This is a very grown-up, serious style of Sauvignon Blanc as befits its winemaker, Andre Van Resnsburg, who once told me his ambition was to make a great white and a great red from Bordeaux varieties. It is concentrated and intense, some fresh pea-shoot and elderflower, but a sense of steeliness too, the thrust of the acidity and weight on the mid-palate giving lots of savoury appeal. Long and juicy despite its obvious power, it is very impressive."

"The nose is fresh, fruity and aromatic. It reveals notes of apricot and passion fruit combined with a hint of guava, fig. The palate is fruity, complex, elegant, fat, ample, gourmand and offers an acid frame that leads the tasting. In the mouth it expresses notes of yellow fruit, passion fruit, guava and apricot combined with a touch of honey, flint and a slight toasted notes. Good length and persistence."
