Grape Varieties:
97.5% Sauvignon Blanc, 2.5% Semillon
Method and Maturation:
Grapes for this wine are hand-selected from older vineyard parcels that best display the uniqueness of our Noordhoek terroir. Fruity elements are derived from blocks in the valley that enjoy longer hours of sunlight. For balance, we select grapes from the vineyard blocks that fall in the shadow of the Chapman’s Peak Mountain Range for most of the morning.
Wine Tasting Notes:
The wine is layered with a combination of Cape gooseberries, white grapefruit and a hint of fynbos. The rich and textured palate is focused with a steely minerality and fresh and vibrant acidity.
Food and Wine Pairing Suggestions:
This wine’s fresh acidity is a match made in heaven for seafood—think grilled prawns, oysters, or a zesty ceviche.
And with Lunar New Year right around the corner, the Noordhoek 2022 pairs beautifully with dishes like steamed fish with ginger and soy sauce, or chilled poached prawns with a citrus dressing.
