False Bay Windswept Sauvignon Blanc 2025 Description
Fresh and zesty with grassy and dry bay leaf aromatics, mineral notes, with hints of richness. This is a restrained Sauvignon Blanc with a palate that has lots of minerality and citrus with lightly herbal notes. The finish is ripe and gently honeyed with crisp green apple fruit and fresh acidity.
On the nose, expect vibrant citrus blossom and white peach alongside subtle herbaceous notes of freshly cut grass and green tomato leaf. The wine opens with a mineral-driven character that speaks to its coastal terroir, with flinty undertones adding complexity and depth.
The palate is beautifully balanced - crisp and focused with bright grapefruit and lime zest leading the way. Delicate herbal nuances of nettle and sage weave through the mid-palate, while a distinctive saline minerality provides structure and elegance. The wine maintains excellent tension between its fruit-forward character and restrained oak influence.
The finish is clean and persistent, with ripe stone fruit notes - particularly green apple and white peach - lingering alongside a gentle honeyed sweetness. Fresh acidity cuts through beautifully, leaving a refreshing, mouth-watering conclusion that invites another sip. The wine's complexity unfolds gradually, revealing subtle layers of white flowers and coastal minerals as it opens in the glass.
Perfect with a host of Mediterranean dishes.
