Aquiline Sauvignon Blanc 2023, Western Cape

Description

This is a super patio wine, ideal for drinking in the garden when the sun is shining. The nose is fresh lime citrus, with ripe stonefruit and tropical notes and hints of lemon grass. The palate is refreshing with green apple and ripe citrus characters. There is a cleansing acidity and a nice streak of minerality on the finish.

It’s made by JD Rossouw, one of our favourite winemakers. JD was born to make wine: whilst pregnant his mother helped with pressings and punch downs in their family winery, enriching JDs formative senses with winery life. His earliest memories are of the “floral aromas in the winery while the fermentations were happening”. JD always wanted to be a winemaker and it all came so naturally whilst helping his father in their Paarl winery and studying winemaking at Stellenbosch University.

Perfect to pair with Peri Peri chicken or asparagus and lemon risotto.
