We are the sole importers of this brilliantly charged and zippy SB, made by top Cape winemaker David Nieuwoudt at Cederberg. Although there is no mention on the label, this is about two thirds from the young Sauvignon parcels at Cederberg, plus a third from David's Ghost Corner vineyards at Elim near the souternmost tip of Africa – hence the gannet on the label. It’s always so clean, precise and well-priced given its pedigree and
quality, successfully combining nettle and grassy elements with green and exotic fruit, lots of texture and bright aromatics. Now-2021
On my most recent visit in March 2020 David told me how a previous vintage, tasted blind in a large line-up, had been selected for the FNB Top 10 Sauvignon Blancs in the Cape: embarrassed by the fact that he makes three grander Sauvignons he felt he had to withdraw it from the competition! He added that it had also been voted South African Airways Business Class white wine of the year.
