Paarl Heights Sauvignon Blanc

Paarl Heights Sauvignon Blanc

Fresh aromas of nettle and lemon zest with a palate of ripe citrus, green pepper and stoney minerality.

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are planted at the foothills of the Paarl Mountain which is the second largest granite outcrop in the world. The soils are made from decomposed granite and the minerality of the final wines is a direct result of this soil type. This background off different micro climates, together with cool harvesting, slow and cool fermentation creates a wine with concentrated fruit flavours as well as minerality.

Eat with Fish, sushi, chicken, asparagus salad.

Zesty, citrussy Sauvignon Blanc from the foothills of Paarl Mountain.

Boutinot South Africa is driven by a passion for discovery and desire to capture the real essence of South Africa in every bottle. It was the simple love of Loire Chenin Blanc that first led them to South Africa in 1994, where they pioneered the wild ferment style that has now been adopted by many producers in this region. They use a combination of knowledge, a love of nature and science to create versatile, expressive and food-friendly wines from a country that has been making wine for 360 years. The key is knowing the characteristics of each plot, understanding the benefits each cultivar can bring, breaking rules and pushing boundaries.

Since then they have been exploring the country’s amazing vineyards to make fabulous wines from specific sites and plots that scream location, location, terroir.. Their home-grown South African winemaking team of JD Rossouw and Ryno Booysen drive the energy and enthuasiam for expressing the loveliest wines from their country, along with Samantha Bailey’s expertise in finesse.
