Da Capo Sangiovese

2020 Stellenbosch Sangiovese

The Idiom Da Capo Sangiovese 2020 from Stellenbosch is a captivating expression of this classic varietal, beautifully showcasing the unique terroir of the region. This wine greets you with an inviting bouquet of red cherries, ripe strawberries, and a whisper of rose petals. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity and a supple, medium body, with flavors of juicy red fruit, a hint of black tea, and an undercurrent of savory herbs. The tannins are well-integrated and provide a gentle structure, making it an exceptionally food-friendly wine that pairs wonderfully with Italian dishes, grilled meats, and hearty pastas. This Sangiovese is a delightful example of how Stellenbosch can successfully craft a traditionally Italian varietal, delivering a wine that is both elegant and expressive.

Coastal Region

Covering most of the Western Cape, the Coastal Region is the beating heart of South Africa's wine industry. Cooled by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and sheltered by mountains to the south and east, the region enjoys perfect conditions for grapevines to thrive. This is where you will find the world-famous sub-regions of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. Wines labeled as Coastal Region are likely to be made from grapes sourced from a few different sub-zones, taking advantage of a wide range of mesoclimates and soil types. Look out for South Africa's flagship grapes: rounded Chenin Blanc, bold, figgy Pinotage and international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Shiraz too.
