Buitenverwachting Sauvignon Blanc Husseys Vlei

A Sauvignon Blanc from the heart of Constantia – one of South Africa's oldest wine regions, right on the Atlantic coast, with cool sea breezes that provide firm acidity and aromatic precision.

Buitenverwachting – the name means “beyond all expectations” in Afrikaans – has been cultivating the historic vineyard at the foot of Constantiaberg since 1796. The Husseys Vlei site benefits from deep granite weathering soils and the direct influence of the Atlantic Ocean, which gives the Sauvignon Blanc its characteristic freshness.

In the glass, it displays a bright lime-yellow color. The nose opens with green pepper, fresh herbs, and a hint of gooseberry. On the palate, it is full-bodied with lively acidity that keeps the wine light-footed despite its weight. The finish is long, spicy, and pleasantly mineral.
