ACCOLADES AND REVIEWS

⭐ Vivino Rating: 3.9/5

“A Sauvignon that gently rewrites the rules. Grown at 350m altitude in the upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, this cool-climate expression surprises with ripe guava, sweet pineapple and none of the sharp, grassy cues. Thanks to optimal sun exposure and a deliberately late pick, acidity softens and phenolic ripeness takes the lead - lending it a broader mid-palate, polished texture and rounded contours. Barrel lees contact likely adds subtle weight. It’s clean, composed and ripe, with freshness intact but never dominant."

Celebrated for its balance between tropical fruit expression and cool-climate freshness.
