Sheltered by mountains at 600-800 m and cooled by altitude and shade, these vineyards develop slow ripening, high natural acidity and concentrated flavour in their fruit - ideal conditions for Sauvignon Blanc. Soils of decomposed shale and the cool continental influence give Altima wines clarity and mineral tension. The team crafts this Sauvignon Blanc with attention to fruit purity, fermenting in stainless steel and nurturing texture with several months on fine lees, resulting in a wine that reflects both place and thoughtful winemaking.  Colour: Pale straw with subtle green highlights, showing youthful vibrancy and clarity in the glass.  Nose: Bright and focused, with lemon and grapefruit zest at the forefront, layered with passion fruit and gooseberry aromas. A thread of flinty minerality and hints of cut grass add intriguing complexity.  Palate: Crisp and lively, the palate delivers fresh citrus flavours and pure fruit expression. Zesty acidity gives structure, while a touch of lees texture adds gentle depth without heaviness. Mineral notes weave through, balancing the vibrant fruit.  Finish:Clean and lingering, with citrus pith and a lasting hint of flint that invites another sip.","brand":"L'Ormarins","offers":[{"title":"White Dry \/ White","offer_id":45075211124915,"sku":"WW2540SB14","price":152.17,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5195\/9731\/files\/WW2540SB14.jpg?v=1762215075"},{"product_id":"benguela-cove-estate-sauvignon-blanc-2025","title":"Benguela Cove Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2025","description":"Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate lies on the shores of the Bot River Lagoon near Hermanus in Walker Bay, where the cool Atlantic Ocean exerts a strong influence on the vineyards. The maritime climate slows ripening, allowing the grapes to retain vibrant natural acidity while developing concentrated fruit flavours. The estate's shale, clay and iron-rich lateritic soils contribute structure and a distinctive mineral character that has become a hallmark of its wines. For the Benguela Cove Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2025, estate-grown fruit was harvested during the cool morning hours to preserve freshness. The wine was made primarily in stainless steel, with a small portion fermented in seasoned wooden vats to add texture, before spending around 80 days on its lees with regular stirring. The result is a Sauvignon Blanc that balances bright fruit with subtle complexity while remaining true to its cool-climate origins. Colour: Pale straw with a youthful green hue and brilliant clarity. Nose: Expressive aromas of gooseberry, grapefruit and green fig lead the bouquet, followed by notes of citrus blossom, crisp apple and a subtle saline freshness. Palate: Fresh and lively with flavours of green melon, grapefruit, lime and crunchy apple. The texture is smooth yet energetic, supported by crisp acidity and a distinct mineral character that reflects its coastal origin. Finish: Clean and persistent, finishing with lingering citrus zest, gentle salinity and a refreshing mineral edge.","brand":"Benguela Cove Wine Estate","offers":[{"title":"750ml Bottle","offer_id":45539247980723,"sku":"WW2540SB41","price":167.83,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5195\/9731\/files\/BenguelaCoveEstateSauvignonBlanc2025.jpg?v=1780060847"},{"product_id":"rietvallei-john-b-sauvignon-blanc-2026","title":"Rietvallei John B Sauvignon Blanc 2026","description":"\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRietvallei Wine Estate is a historic family-owned estate in the Robertson Wine Valley, established in 1864 and now in the hands of the sixth generation of the Burger family.\u003c\/strong\u003e The estate combines its long winemaking heritage with a modern approach to vineyard management and cellar practices, with a particular focus on allowing the character of the Robertson terroir to come through in its wines. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe John B Sauvignon Blanc 2026 comes from vines planted between 1983 and 1999, predominantly on southeast-facing slopes in rich, lime-rich soils.
