Whale Point Sauvignon Blanc, South Africa, 2020

This Sauvignon Blanc white wine from the Western Cape of South Africa is a pale lemon colour with a very fresh nose of gooseberry, cut grass and lemon.

The palate has vibrant aromatics of zesty lemon, white flowers and nettle. The lively acidity gives this wine a very crisp and fresh feel and combines with the fruity, citrussy flavours to provide a long and clean finish.

Western Cape

The Western Cape is roughly the size of Greece and is the fourth largest province in South Africa. A temperate southern coastline is fringed by mountains whilst the north meets up with the Karoo plateau.

The west coast of the province is extremely dry and windy. Two oceans meet on its coast; the cool Atlantic on the west and the warm Indian Ocean on the south coast. The weather is perfect for growing grapes - rainfall measures up to 40 inches a year, the mild Mediterranean weather provides the perfect climate and the ground is mainly sandy and rough.

Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc is found all over the world, although it probably orignates from south west France, hence the name which comes from sauvage "wild" and blanc "white".

In cool climates it produces wines with flavours of grass, green peppers and nettles with some tropical fruit and floral notes. In warmer climates more tropical fruit notes such as peach are noticeable.
