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 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!
