Okay so it’s not an American wine to celebrate #veteransday but it does say ”made on honour” on the label and if there’s one thing that all soldiers Live by, it’s honor! I’m amazed at how well this 2017 is drinking right now. Gooseberry, passion fruit and kiwi abound. Hints of cut grass and lime mojito. The concentration of aromas and flavours is amazing. Fantastic wine really. #southafricanwine #southafrica #robertson #sauvignonblanc

Its so easy to lose sight sometimes. We spend so much time these days focusing on the old world, the forgotten, tradition, ect, that it sometimes feels like we ignore the new. Even when the new has history. Compiled with yesterday's Felton road chard and today's weinert, these are wines that I am embarrassed to say, I don't give enough credit too. I need to explore more. I will explore more...
back to the wine! This is awesome. The least overt of the two cuvees this focuses more on spice and savory. Planted on two separate parcel side-by-side and the same Vineyard and Robertson, these two are made identically according to "inside sources", and couldn't be further apart.

I love this wine. Focused, pure, elegant, salted lemon, and electric!

Dec 20th, 2015This lasted about 8 minutes after I got home! I fricken love this wine...aromatic, green, wet rock, clean, and a super lingering chalky texture!

I received this South African Sauv Blanc from a friend who picked it up from Copper & Oak in Tuart Hill. I haven't yet been to this bottle shop but I've heard it's awesome!
I can't remember the last time I had a South African Sauv so I was looking forward to getting stuck into this one - it was definitely a completely different experience to the AUS and Kiwi Sauv's I've had of late.
In the glass it's a shade of golden yellow. The nose smells of rich, oaky fruit. While the palate is full of flavour, it has that Sauvy minerality to it and an interesting smokiness. Definitely a new experience for my taste buds!

Waitrose: Nice...but not worthy of the premium over similar styled wines

Nov 3rd, 2019Valentine’s Day shellfish extravaganza, not as dry and flinty/zesty as your average SA Sav blanc, more Loire style roundedness. Delicious and Moreish. Bought from Waitrose for 12£. Def repeat

Feb 14th, 201916/20 (88/100) Развитой букет ароматов смородинового листа, лимонов, грибов и котиков. Высокая кислотность. Ананасово-лимонное во вкусе. Неплохо сохранилось. #capewine2018
