Tasting Note

Shannon Sauvignon Blanc expresses very distinctive and concentrated primary fruit aromas of asparagus, citrus, and some capsicum in a minerally and flinty style. The clay/shale soils however, provide the Sauvignon Blanc with flavours on the riper side of the fruit spectrum and with more structure for a broader palate.

Product Notes

Shannon Vineyards Sanctuary Peak Sauvignon Blanc is a vérité South African white wine bestowing an array of splendid, vibrant notes. It emanates a radiant straw hue paired with a lively nose of summer fruits, green pepper and gooseberry. Imbibers are treated to a rich, persistent fruit flavour, evocatively combining tropical guava, zesty citrus and a gentle mineral undertone. A rounded texture and well-integrated acidity confer an exquisite balance to the wine's structure. Each sip ends with a fresh, enduring finish. Perfect for luxurious seafood dishes or served chilled on sunny afternoons. A tremendous testament to South Africa's unrivalled winemaking skill.
