Cape Point Vineyards
Noordhoek Sauvignon Blanc
Cape Point, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa
Our second stop of the day was at Cape Point Vineyards. One of the very best vistas we had seen on any of our many trips. Absolutely, a great place to have lunch and stare at that view.
The nose reveals; lemon custard, lime, green melon, banana peel, green apple skin, pineapple, stone fruit, honeysuckle, steely minerality, wet stone, some cut grass & green bean with yellow lilies and white flowers.
The body is full, round and waxy. Texture is beautiful. Lemon custard, lime, green melon, banana peel, green apple skin, pineapple, stone fruit, cantaloupe, honeysuckle, steely minerality, wet stone, powdery, soft chalkiness, saline notes, some cut grass & green bean with yellow lilies, citrus blossoms and white flowers. The acidy is round and perfect. The finish is; elegant, lush, well balanced/polished and persists beautiful for minutes. 92 just missing 93. My favorite of the five we tasted.
Photos of, a panorama view from their terrace patio restaurant, my better half enjoying that view, her ceviche starter and the mountains that run from the right side of property all along the back of it.

Very atypical of sauv blanc - in a good way!

Wow! This is quite a busy wine. Intense aromas and flavors of lemon curd, lime, grapefruit, white peach, banana, white flowers and fresh cut grass. Full bodied with beautiful balance and crisp acidity. Lush and polished finish that has touches of wet stones and saline. Explosive and Interesting!
