Original Sin

2011 Wine Of South Africa Wine Of Origin: 74% Hemel-En-Aarde Ridge 26% Hemel-En-Aarde Valley Sauvignon Blanc

The Lavierge Original Sin, crafted from Sauvignon Blanc, presents a charming expression of its Hemel-En-Aarde origins in South Africa. This 2011 vintage showcases a lovely pale straw color that gleams in the glass. On the palate, it delivers a refreshing brightness, marked by vibrant acidity that enhances its crisp character. The fruit intensity is quite prominent, with exuberant notes of citrus and tropical fruits enticing the senses, while subtle herbal undertones add complexity. Though the wine is beautifully refreshing, it also possesses a delicate, well-integrated texture that makes it food-friendly, perfect for pairing with seafood or light salads. The overall dryness of this wine lends itself to a delightful finish, leaving a lingering impression of summer gardens and sunlit afternoons.
