About this Item
Cape Point Vineyards is an award-winning wine estate nestled between the fynbos, vineyards and the Atlantic ocean in Noordhoek, Western Cape. On the white wine front, Wine Spectator seems to agree with Neal Martin that Cape Point Vineyards is the go-to address for top Sauvignon Blanc. Their serious Sauvignons are up there with the finest whites in the country, displaying focus, minerality, tension and depth.

Critics Ratings
‘Delicious interpretation of Sauternes dessert, featuring botrytised Semillon (92%) and Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat blend with soupçon (unauthorised in Sauternes) Chardonnay; also somewhat sweeter than Bordeaux benchmark in current 2001 (123g/l sugar vs 90-100 g/l). Honey-coloured, fresh gushy apricot nose, well-absorbed oak (barrel-fermented/aged one year, 100% new French). Medium body, zippy acid. Should mellow, gain complexity over next 2-3 years.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2004, 4*
