SA White Wine Experience

Description

DeMorgenzon, Maestro White 2017

An excellent, five-way, Rhône-style white blend from one of the best white wine producers in Stellenbosch. Notes of concentrated orange and yellow stone fruits, with a hint of spice, citrus and blossoms.

Babylonstoren, Chenin Blanc 2020

A light, crisp, dry wine that is fruit driven and juicy. Unwooded and refreshing with lovely guava, pineapple and winter melon flavours rounded off with a hint of fresh gooseberries and Packham pear undertones.

Paul Wallace Reflection Chardonnay 2019

Leading with prominent citrus notes of lemon and lime backed up by a delicate, oaky sweetness and minerality. An excellent example of the wine for which Elgin is renowned – a highly expressive Chardonnay with remarkably pure fruit flavours.

93pts | Platter’s

Black Oystercatcher, Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Refreshing, balanced and extremely mineral with gooseberry, capsicum and a hint of the Atlantic Ocean. Long, lingering finish. The ideal partner for seafood, particularly oysters.

Paul Wallace, Little Flirt Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Guaranteed to charm and captivate, this is a full and fruit driven Sauvignon Blanc led by tropical fruit, kiwi, gooseberry and golden delicious apples. Overall, a fresh and friendly wine, capturing the purity of fruit from Elgin’s cool climate.

Glenelly, Glass Collection Unoaked Chardonnay 2020

Foregoing oak ageing to preserve the wine’s purity, this zesty Chardonnay is intense, ripe and generous. Flint and citrus peel on the nose. On the palate, intense and complex fruit flavours compliment a clean, flint core with a wonderful long finish.
