2023 Rhanleigh South Africa Sauvignon Blanc

From the verdant slopes of Stellenbosch, nestled within South Africa's renowned Western Cape, Rhanleigh's Sauvignon Blanc is a testament to the region's rich viticultural prowess. Embodying the distinctive terroir of Stellenbosch, this wine beautifully showcases the harmony of the region's unique climatic conditions and the dynamic nature of the Sauvignon Blanc grape.

TastingNotesNose: The initial aromatic embrace offers notes of crisp green apple, freshly cut grass, and vibrant tropical undertones of passion fruit and guava. Delving deeper, there's an elegant layer of lime zest, paired with the subtle minerality that Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blancs are celebrated for.

Palate: Vibrant and lively, the palate is treated to a dance of zesty acidity and a plethora of fruit notes. Leading with pronounced flavors of citrus, green bell pepper, and gooseberry, the mid-palate introduces a more herbaceous layer, evoking hints of green tea and fresh herbs.

Finish: The finish is both long and refreshing, marked by lingering citrusy notes and a distinct mineral touch reminiscent of the region's terroir.

FoodPairingEffortlessly versatile, Rhanleigh's Sauvignon Blanc is a culinary dream. It finds its match in fresh seafood, especially oysters or ceviche, while also complementing green salads adorned with a tangy vinaigrette. Creamy goat cheese, dishes laden with fresh herbs like pesto pasta, or grilled meats accentuated by chimichurri, all echo the wine's vibrant character.
