Description
Vineyard
Spice Route Sauvignon Blanc 2024 grows in Darling, a coastal region shaped by constant Atlantic breezes. These cooling winds slow down ripening, which allows the grapes to develop concentrated flavours while preserving their natural acidity. The vineyards rest on decomposed granite and koffieklip soils that drain well and encourage the vines to dig deep for nutrients. As a result, the grapes show remarkable purity and freshness. This terroir has become one of South Africa’s most reliable sources for vibrant Sauvignon Blanc.
Tasting Notes
From the first swirl, Spice Route Sauvignon Blanc 2024 reveals tropical aromas of guava, passionfruit, and ripe peach. Citrus zest adds brightness, while subtle stone fruit rounds out the bouquet. On the palate, the wine delivers juicy fruit flavours supported by crisp, lively acidity. The freshness carries through to a long and intense finish, making every sip both refreshing and memorable. Because of its energy and balance, this South African Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with seafood, goat’s cheese, and fresh summer salads.
