The The Smous Sauvignon Blanc from the Winery Old Road Wine Co. tells the story of the local merchant who travelled through the area with his wares.
This characterful Sauvignon Blanc is layered and fascinating, with exotic notes of tropical fruits. These aromas are balanced by a gentle acidity and a first-class minerality.
The Old Road Wine Co. The Smous Sauvignon Blanc enchants with juicy green melon and fresh pineapple on the nose. On the palate, soft aromas of pear, stone fruit and banana follow, with a rounded and full-bodied finish.

Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
