Country: South Africa / Durbanville
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Winery: Nitida / Cape Winemakers Guild Swan Song
Winemaker: Bernhard Veller. This is a surprisingly concentrated and wood-dominated Sauvignon Blanc, with initial aromas of yellow melon, grilled peach, cedar plank, orange cream and baking spice. It’s full and round on the palate, with a smooth, somewhat flabby texture and forward oak flavors that overwhelm the fruit character.
