Country: South Africa / Cape Winemakers Guild Vloekskoot Wooded
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Hemel en Aarde
Winery: Bartho Eksteen /
Winemaker: Bartho Eksteen. Don’t let the wooded name fool you—attractive aromas of guava, melon, lychee hard candy, rosebud and sweet clementine greet you on the nose of this fresh and lively Sauvy. The ripely fruited palate is balanced by bright acidity and flavors of orange zest and fynbos herbaceousness, with subtle wood-spice accents playing ever so delicately in the background. Well balanced and remarkably accessible, with the stuffing for positive short-term aging; drink 2017–2020.
