Finca Sophenia 'ES Vino' Sauvignon Blanc

Finca Sophenia 'ES Vino' Sauvignon Blanc

Very bright greenish yellow colour with intense citric aromas of pink grapefruit, passion fruit and lime. In the mouth it is fresh and citric, with intense and concentrated flavours and a lingering aftertaste.

Backsberg Sauvignon Blanc - 2009

Favourite South African White Wine 75 cl Bottle

Grown on higher and cooler slopes, bursting with aromas of gooseberry and passionfruit, this lively Sauvignon Blanc matches aromatic intensity with freshness and balance. Lime and nettle characters predominate on the palate which cleverly matches fruit sweetness with natural acidity.

Founded in 1916, this wonderful estate is located below `The Little Tower of Babylon` on the steep hillside vineyards in Paarl. This prominent producer has been at the forefront of quality wine production for many years. Currently under the stewardship of third generation Michael Back, they are making considerable waves in the international market. Recently achieving carbon neutral status, the first in South Africa. They constantly strive to produce the highest quality grapes using natural and organic principals. Rising star, winemaker Guillaume Nell is well supported by viticulturalist Clive Trent.
