Klein Constantia Sauvignon Blanc Constantia WO

Constantia Wine Region, South Africa

Estate Sauvignon Blanc from maritime Constantia granitic soils; South Africa's most complex expression of the variety. Cool Atlantic breezes create natural freshness; grapefruit, lime, passion fruit, white peach, and the distinctive Constantia sea mineral. Fuller than Marlborough; more coastal than Stellenbosch. Excellent ageing potential — develops grassy-mineral complexity after 3–5 years.

Pairing intelligence

• fish course: Cape Peninsula sole with Cape Peninsula Sauvignon Blanc; the maritime connection is total; mineral and citrus complement the fish
• starter: Local Cape fish with local Cape wine; Sauvignon Blanc's passion fruit and mineral are perfect with smoked snoek fish cake
• main: Constantia Sauvignon's tropical fruit and acidity handle peri-peri heat while the maritime mineral provides freshness
