Strandveld Vineyards – Sauvignon Blanc 2016 – Pofadderbos Single Vineyard – Cape Agulhas – Elim, South Africa

The nose is aromatic, fresh and quite fruity. It reveals notes of green apple, vine peach and a slight note of exotic fruits associated with slight notes of flowers, touches of citrus fruit as well as a discreet note of stone / racy minerality and an imperceptible toasted note. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a nice mineral frame (racy minerality), depthness, a fine acidity, a fine unctuosity (probably from bâtonnage), finesse, a nice roundness, straightness, elegance as well as freshness. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of crushed apple, crushed peach, kumquat and exotic fruits combined with a small note of ripe citrus / quince, discreet hints of juicy clementine as well as an imperceptible hint of vanilla and hints of zest on the persistence.
