Product Notes

Buitenverwachting Sauvignon Blanc is an exquisite South African wine. Radiating with vibrancy, its pale gold hue invites immediate draw. The bouquet offers delicate fragrances of passion fruit, gooseberries and green pepper. On the palate, it washes with an elated mix of citric fruitiness and crisp minerality, leaving an extended, rich finish. This wine embodies elegance, showcasing balanced acidity and expressive character, reminiscent of the eastern slopes of South Africa's Constantia mountains where its grapes grow aplenty. Perfect to be served chilled, it complements a variety of dishes, notably seafood. It is indeed a prime example of sophisticated winemaking.
