Rascallion with Love From the Cape Sauv Blanc 2023
Sauvignon Blanc
Description
Rascallion Wines, founded by Ross Sleet, is a Western Cape négociant label that focuses on crafting accessible, fruit-driven wines by sourcing grapes from multiple regions rather than a single estate. For the Sauvignon Blanc, fruit is typically drawn from cooler coastal areas such as Darling, Durbanville and Stellenbosch, where maritime influence helps preserve natural acidity and aromatic lift.
The winemaking approach is clean and deliberate, with an emphasis on preserving freshness and clarity of fruit. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel to retain the varietal’s bright character, resulting in a Sauvignon Blanc that reflects a broader Cape identity rather than a single-site expression. The style is modern, reliable and easy to return to - exactly what the label sets out to achieve.
Colour:
Pale straw with a green tint, clear and vibrant.
Nose:
Expressive aromas of tropical fruit, gooseberry and citrus lead, with hints of pineapple, lime and a touch of fresh-cut herbs.
Palate:
Light- to medium-bodied with crisp acidity. Flavours of passion fruit, green apple and citrus unfold on a clean, straightforward palate, keeping the wine refreshing and accessible rather than complex.
Finish:
Fresh and dry, with lingering citrus and a light tropical note.
