Cape Point Vineyards
Cape Point Vineyards is uniquely located in the Cape Peninsula where it is set rather majestically against the slopes of the famous Chapman’s Peak mountain range and overlooks the nearby Atlantic Ocean – a mere 1 2km’s away. Cool sea breezes along with ancient mountain soils make for a unique terroir with a late growing season that results in a world class Sauvignon Blanc with minerals tones and great complexity.
In the vineyard
Grapes for this wine are hand-selected from vineyard parcels that best display the uniqueness of our Noordhoek terroir. Fruity elements are derived from blocks in the valley that enjoy longer hours of sunlight. For balance, we select grapes with herbaceous tones from the very top blocks that fall in the shadow of the the Chapman’s Peak Mountain Range for most of the day.
97% Sauvignon Blanc, 3% Semillon
The wine is layered with a combination of Cape gooseberries, white grapefruit and a hint of fynbos. The rich and textured palate is focused with a steely minerality and fresh and vibrant acidity.
