Klein Constantia
Perdeblokke Sauvignon Blanc
Constantia, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa
Last of the Sauvignon Blancs at Klein Constantia.
Light greenish yellow. Very fresh on the nose with white floral notes, a little nutty, lovely white and stone fruits as well as some gooseberries. Heavy acidity (7.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Layered palate with citrus notes as well as some other lighter fruits and balanced throughout. Long finish. Drink till 2023.
Aged in neutral oak for 9 months.

Green and grassy, and quite Sauvignon Blanc, but there's a weight from the lees ageing and a stony texture that stands the wine out.

Wonderful - had many KC Sav Blancs every year since 1995 and including a few back years but never this Perdeblokke - lovely crisp expression with some green grassy undertones and slight green apple - enjoyed this one :)
