Thelema Mountain Vineyards, Sutherland Sauvignon Blanc, 2024

The cool, coastal Elgin district makes the perfect home for this classic grape variety. The wine is light gold in colour with youthful flashes of lime green, and on the nose is aromatic with aromas of bell peppers and fresh crushed herbs. On the palate the wine is dry with a mouthwatering streak of minerals, hints of sub-tropical fruit and a layer of grassy gooseberry flavours that merge sublimely with a limey, crisp finish. Elegant and lengthy, this wine offers some lovely drinking at a very reasonable price.
