2021 Sauvignon Blanc Western Cape

95% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Sémillon. Winemaker: André van Rensburg. RS 2.8 g/l. Vegan, screwcapped. Grapes were all hand-harvested from Vergelegen's own vineyards with parcels selected and vinified separately, some in barrel or wooden tank, others in concrete tank, stainless-steel tank or stainless-steel barrel. Zesty and grassy but with a little apparent sweetness. Much grassier and greener than the average New Zealand SB. Correct and fair value. This won’t fall off its perch in a hurry. (JR)
