Pale straw with a green tint. The lift is bright and citrus-led — grapefruit pith, gooseberry, a wisp of cut grass — with a cooler mineral note running underneath, like wet stone.
Taut and dry. Citrus carries through the front; the mid-palate is mineral, almost saline, with a hint of green apple. The lees ageing shows as a soft creaminess that lifts the texture without softening the line.
Clean, brisk, and lingering. The citrus persists; the minerality holds. A wine that asks you to drink the next sip cold.
The classic Cape pairing: West Coast oysters, Atlantic linefish, a goat's-cheese salad. Equally at home with a Thai green curry or sushi.
Our wines begin in the vineyards of Lourensford Estate, on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountain. Here, mountain soils, elevation, slope orientation and the cooling influence of the nearby Atlantic Ocean create ideal conditions for grapes with freshness, character and depth.
Our Sauvignon Blanc grows in Oakleaf soils on north-eastern-facing slopes of the Helderberg, about 300 metres above sea level. The vines were planted in 2007 and receive gentle morning sunlight, while benefiting from cool Atlantic Sea breezes that travel just 8 km inland from the ocean.
This combination of altitude, early-day sun and cooling maritime air helps the grapes ripen slowly, retaining their natural freshness, bright acidity and vibrant fruit expression. Carefully managed irrigation and canopy management support healthy vines and balanced fruit.
The 2025 Sauvignon Blanc season was a textbook cool one. A wet July gave the vines the reserves they needed; a mild summer kept acidity high through ripening.
We picked at first light on a Tuesday in mid-January, the grapes cold from a 9°C night. Cold-fermented in stainless steel and bottled within four months — a wine made for now, not for waiting.
Restaurants, retailers and distributors — fair allocations, honest margins, and a winemaker who actually picks up the phone.
