This white wine offers floral notes of white orchid, rose and peach blossom. Hints of floral oak spice combined with fresh thyme give the wine an extra layer of depth.

Cape Point Vineyards is uniquely located in the Cape Peninsula where it is set rather majestically against the slopes of the famous Chapman’s Peak mountain range and overlooks the nearby Atlantic Ocean – a mere 1-2km’s away. Cool sea breezes along with ancient mountain soils make for a unique terroir with a late growing season that results in a world class Sauvignon Blanc with minerals tones and great complexity.
Tim Atkins 96/100: Featuring the highest ever percentage of Semillon (26%) under Riandri Visser’s stewardship, this Sauvignon-dominated white is consistently among the best Bordeaux blends in the Cape. Wild yeast fermented in its entirety, it’s a stunning achievement, with scented, nuanced 30% new wood, notes of grapefruit pith and umami, a herbal undertone and saline, crunchy, mouth-watering acidity. 2022-27
Platter’s Rating 5-stars: A Cape classic, with 11 maximum 5-star ratings since 2003 debut.
