Cape Point Stonehaven Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Winemaker's Notes:

This world-class Sauvignon Blanc which hails from Cape Point, South Africa drinks like a top notch bottling from the Loire Valley - no wonder since the winemaker, Duncan Savage, spent some time working with renowned Loire winemaker Didier Dagueneau at his estate in Pouilly-Fumé. Super elegant and complex, this boutique gem features varietal aromas of gooseberry and wet stone then moves into a creamy, mouth-filling palate brimming with vibrant white grapefruit flavors and chalky minerals. This is knockout Sauvignon Blanc!

Stonehaven:

Stonehaven opened in March 1998, and is located just 6km south of Padthaway, the gateway to South Australia's Limestone Coast. Stonehaven takes its name from one of its vineyards, which originally formed part of the pioneering Hynam Station, established by one of the region's first settlers Adam Smith in 1846. Stonehaven features the latest winemaking technology that provides the winemaker with unprecedented control over the winemaking process, allowing them to maximise the special characters of every batch of premium fruit that comes into the winery. Since opening, the winery and its wines have won numerous awards. Read less
