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.

Laibach Sauvignon Blanc - 2009

South African White Wine 75 cl Bottle

Fruit selection is made from three different plots in the Stellenbosch region, picked very early in the morning at different stages of ripeness. This enables a wide spectrum of flavours and acidity to be reached. Winemaker Francois Van Zyl, is keen to produce an expressive dry white wine showing a lovely green tint with capiscum, passion fruit and gooseberries on the nose. This is then complimented with a lively rush of lemon minerality in the finish.

One of the Cape`s more recent wine estates having been purchased by the Laibach-Kuehner family in the early 1990s. An initial investment saw the 40 hectare property totally replanted and this was followed by the building of a state of the art and contemporary winery. Stuffed full of modern winemaking kit but using traditional barrel ageing, this is a wine estate with a growing reputation right on top of its game. Managed by the very likeable Mike Malherbe, a totally fanatical grape grower and in tandem with the exceptionally talented winemaker, Francois van Zyl they endeavour to craft modern drinkable and delicious wines for a sophisticated and discerning market.
