Tasting notes
The Sauvignon Blanc from the Winery Franschhoek Cellar is named after the monument in Franschhoek, which was built in honor of the French Huguenots (Statue de Femme).
On the nose, expressive tropical aromas impress with a hint of bell pepper. On the palate, the dry-fruity Sauvignon Blanc from the Winery Franschhoek Cellar convinces with flavors of gooseberry, grapefruit, and pineapple, which support the long-lasting finish. A touch of Sémillon gives the wine its very elegant fullness.
The Franschhoek Cellar Sauvignon Blanc is a perfect companion for warm summer days on the terrace.
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.
