The River Garden by Lourensford Estate Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc 82+ Points

The River Garden by Lourensford Estate Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc 82+ Points


What is exciting about this clean, crisp and well balance Sauvignon Blanc is not only it’s amazing value at less than R 35 per bottle but it is also a 100% Stellenbosch grown Sauvignon Blanc, more precisely along the Somerset West/Helderberg area.

Abundant in green peas note, kiwi and bright lime fruit, delicate and unshowy it’s lean and racy style with just the right hint of peppery spices and some waxy buffering due to the inclusion of a small percentage of Semillon, it’s the perfect un-aggressive Sauvignon that is not only perfect on it’s own but complements a broad variety of light crunchy food or delicate white meat and mild seafood and due to it’s competitive price it’s perfect for listing by the glass, delivering a decent drop at a great value, as well have a story to relate too!
