ABOUT THIS WINE:
Ten Year Tree
Sauvignon Blanc
Cooling southeasterly winds — known locally as the Cape Doctor — used to rustle the branches of old apple trees found in the orchards of South Africa's Western Cape.

Our winemaking partners take this a step further by harvesting in the early hours of the morning and fermenting the wine at cool temperatures to hang on to every ounce of freshness. If this is your first taste of South African wine, prepare yours ...
