Kleine Zalze Cellar Selection Sauvignon Blanc

2,895 KShs

Intense aromas of tropical fruit with prominent granadilla and pineapple. Zesty and flinty on the palate with the ever-present herbaceous character from Sauvignon Blanc

Country: South Africa
Region: Stellenbosch
ABV: 13.5% vol
Suggested Food Pairings: Excellent on its own, or served with barbecued meat, veal, poultry, pasta and red meat dishes
Remarks: The grapes were sourced primarily from: Stellenbosch, with some parcels from Darling, Durbanville, Elim and Koekenaap on the West Coast. The common denominator is that all vineyards are found within 15km from the ocean and thus the cooling sea breezes are the common denominator. The 2022 vintage will be remembered for the very late start and very cool growing conditions. This was perfect for our Sauvignon blanc vineyards.

Product Description

Kleine Zalze is an award-winning winery situated in the heart of the Cape Winelands, just two miles from: Stellenbosch. Winemaking has taken place on our estate on a small scale since 1695 but it was in 1996, when Kobus Basson and his family purchased the property, that the modern Kleine Zalze was born.
Our philosophy is simple: success begins in the vineyards. Exceptional wines are made possible by selecting varieties and clones specifically suited to the various soils and slopes, and further careful management of the farm’s extensive natural assets.

This continuous attention to detail culminated in Kleine Zalze achieving new heights in 2020 and being named Top Performing Winery of the Year by Platter’s South African wine guide, arguably the most comprehensive guide to South African wine in the world.
