Story
This delicious sauvignon blanc is a everyday wine favourite on tables throughout the world – offering great value and superb drinking. Boekenhoutskloof Winery proudly named the range after the Crested Porcupine, a most unique and fascinating inhabitant of their farm.
Tasting Notes
Pair this bright and complex wine with Handel's aria "Lascia ch'io pianga" from Rinaldo. The aria's elegance and purity mirror the wine’s fresh citrus and tropical aromas, while the delicate balance of lime, gooseberries, and tart pineapple reflects the graceful simplicity of the melody. Together, they create a crisp yet harmonious experience, with the aria’s emotional depth complementing the wine's vibrant, lingering finish.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs wonderfully with dishes like grilled asparagus with lemon vinaigrette, a fresh summer salad topped with goat cheese and citrus dressing. For something heartier, consider a herb-crusted chicken breast or a vegetable risotto with a touch of lemon zest
Wine Makers Note
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is made from grapes harvested from vineyards in Robertson, Stellenbosch and as far afield as the West Coast. These vineyards are picked at different ripeness levels to achieve a supple and round yet focused wine with balanced acidity. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature conditions before blending. No acidification during any stage of vinification.
