Buitenverwachting Christine Sauvignon Blanc

Constantia, South Africa

South Africa's most critically acclaimed Sauvignon Blanc — old-vine Constantia Sauvignon Blanc with extended lees contact producing a wine of extraordinary mineral complexity and cellar-worthiness. Grapefruit, lime blossom, flinty mineral, and a textural weight and length that develops magnificently over 5-10 years. The cool Peninsula terroir at its finest.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Cape Peninsula crayfish and Peninsula Sauvignon Blanc — the wine's mineral freshness and citrus character mirrors the crayfish's sweetness; lemon in the garnish echoes the wine's character
• main: Cape Town's traditional grilled fish and Constantia's finest white — snoek's robust, smoky character is complemented by the wine's mineral freshness; apricot jam bridges the wine's fruit notes
