Whale Pod Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Walker Bay and the Hemel-en-Aarde valley nearby the whale-watching town of Hermanus, is a relatively recent addition to South Africa’s exciting wine topography, with great potential for cooler climate styles not commonly found elsewhere in the country.

A splendid white with a hint of green tinge, aromas of guava, passion fruit, gooseberry, grapefruit and peach stones. Flavour has a fresh mineral element and livening acidity. No malolactic fermentation to ensure freshness, and resting on the lees for 5 months for enhanced taste structure. Perfect with seafood dishes.
