Kleine Zalze's Family Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is a top-tier South African white. Its charm lies in the delicate balance of tropical fruit and crisp acidity, offering harmonious notes of passion fruit, green apple and pear. There's a nuanced minerality which pulls through, staying true to the vineyard's terroir. Its nose enchants with typical herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc traits, layered with brighter citrus. A carefully crafted wine, it's rich and full-bodied with a pleasingly dry finish. Heralded for its elegance, it pairs perfectly with seafood or light poultry dishes. Truly, a rewarding and refined expression of the Sauvignon Blanc grape.
