Ripe fruit and refreshing acidity from four-time Gold Medalist Wisdom Point
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Wisdom Point
Sauvignon Blanc
If you typically find yourself reaching for Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre, we invite you to try its doppelgänger from the Southern Hemisphere. Our Wisdom Point Sauvignon Blanc from Breedekloof is every bit as textural as its French counterpart with a tropical fruit twist. Our South African winemaking partners continue to impress in a region where passion and quality are the norms. Breedekloof is home to a vast array of microclimates and soil types. This makes it possible to cultivate and craft a wide variety of desired wine styles, especially for the highly adaptable Sauvignon Blanc. We appreciate this wine for its lively acidity, intense fruit flavor, and subtle sweetness, and we hope that it gives you a glimpse into this somewhat lesser-known region through the lens of a varietal you know and love.

WINE REGION:
Breedekloof
Breedekloof sits in the western portion of the Breede River Valley region, about 50 miles northeast of Cape Town. Surrounded by mountain ranges, Breedekloof's complex topography and rich array of soil types make it perfect for white wine production. With the Atlantic Ocean not far to the west and the Karoo desert to the east, the sheltered climate here is characterized by sunny days and cold nights. Here Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc grapes ripen with great structure and acidity. Pinotage and Syrah also perform well in Breedekloof, developing fine, Rhône-like aromatics as they ripen.

TASTING NOTES:
Lime
Mineral
Guava
This aromatic wine offers powerful notes of ripe guava and lime. Texture takes over the palate, where enticing minerality and sharp acidity pierce the wine’s weighty body. A brininess meets concentrated grapefruit flavors for a lingering finish that highlights both taste and mouthfeel.
