Characteristics:
Dry and complex Sauvignon Blanc, grapes sourced from a single vineyard planted in 1986, certified Old Vine Vineyard. Pale lemon colour, with aromas of gooseberry, white pear, guava, lemon zest and a touch of vanilla pod. Luscious mounthfeel with abundant stone fruit flavours of peach and apricot. Long and textural finish, with a touch of butterscotch and subtle hints of oak. Drinks beautifully now and will develop further over the next 3 years. Strict VEGAN guidelines were adhered to during the entire farming and winemaking process.

Food pairing:
This is a versatile food wine: serve with seafood sush as scallops, seafood pasta and grilled calamari. Delightful with a classic caprese or with creamy seafood risotto. Pairs well with poultry and a touch of freshness, like lemon chicken or grilled citrus quail.

About the winery:
The story about this historic estate dates 300 years back to 1692 when Willem Barend Lubbe settled on the flanks of the Bottelary hills. The property counts 273 hectares of which 163 are planted with vines. The vineyards enjoy the Atlantic sea breeze that brings refreshment every afternoon. The beautiful driveway and the towering fountain make the vineyard one of the most recognizable of the Cape. Neethlingshof aims high in protecting the biodiversity on the estate.
