Benguela Cove6x Sauvignon Blanc 2021

About

Proudly boasting some of the most sought-after terroirs in the Western Cape overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate has unique and beautiful stories to tell. Brought to life on the shores of the Bot River Lagoon, cool maritime winds caress the vines, resulting in a cooler median daytime temperature. This allows for slow ripening, preserving the gentle characteristics of these cool-climate wines. Proudly carrying the stamp of wine of origin Walker Bay, all wines are crafted with minimal intervention.

Product Features

• Partially barrel fermented and matured in barrels for 8 months, 25% new 500L barrels and 10% amphora. 
• If preserved green figs evoke childhood memories, this wine will pour itself into your heart. 
• These vivid aromas are joined with notes of bell pepper and gunflint, balanced with sweet tropical fruit and lemon candy. 
• Alluring lemongrass and pineapple nuances carry through on the palate, met with a racy acidity.
• Aging potential of 3-5 years from vintage.
• The authoritative acidity invites big flavours, like rich cheeses, but don't forget to match it and to add a creamy element.
• Also pairs beautifully with swordfish carpaccio, asparagus Tarte Tatin or Thai lemon beef.
