Kleine Zalze Family Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2019
The Kleine Zalze Family Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2019 is a benchmark South African white wine, crafted from premium vineyards in Durbanville and Darling. Widely regarded as one of the finest Sauvignon Blanc vintages in recent history, 2019 offered moderate days and cool evenings—ideal conditions for expressive, balanced fruit. This wine bursts with lively, herbaceous aromas and layered notes of tropical fruit, citrus and freshly cut grass. On the palate it is crisp and concentrated, with green herbal nuances complementing ripe exotic fruit. The finish is long, intense and elegant, reflecting both terroir and expert craftsmanship. A serious Sauvignon Blanc with excellent ageing potential, it will reward careful cellaring over the next few years. Whether enjoyed young for its vibrancy or matured for added complexity, this wine exemplifies Kleine Zalze’s dedication to quality and refinement. 86pts - Robert Parker
Wildeberg Coterie Grenache Blanc - Chenin Blanc 2023
A textural wine made from Chenin Blanc sourced from old bush vines in Franschhoek and Grenache Blanc from younger vines in Paarl. The nose is ripe with peach, tropical fruits and hints of jasmine. The palate shows texture and generosity from the old bush vine Chenin, veiled with white spice and exotic notes from the younger, alluring Grenache Blanc, the whole ultimately finishing rich, yet fresh and textural. Wildeberg’s rationale is to source the finest vineyards available to us across Franschhoek and the Coastal Region, from which cuvées the eyes are plucked to make Wildeberg and the Terroir Series releases. In doing so there remains a small yet definitive expression of all the vineyards we worked with, and its these cuvees that are again selected to go into Coterie by Wildeberg. Chenin and Grenache Blanc really complement each other very well. Both varietals love the Coastal Region’s arid soils and Mediterranean climate due to their inherent tolerance to drought. Both components were naturally fermented in 600 litre French oak barrels. 65% 2nd fill and 35% 3rd fill barrels. Food match This is a rich, textural wine whose body and exotic jasmine notes would ably marry with gentle Malay and Thai green fish curries, dishes with lemongrass and coriander, or just simply braai-ed linefish
