Klein Constantia Perdeblokke Sauvignon Blanc 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Constantia
R650
‘Sourced from two blocks within the same vineyard - facing south and east, respectively - this is the most granitic of Matt Day's mouth-watering array of Sauvignon Blancs. Aged in neutral wood, it's all about precision and energy, with layers of rock salt, brine, petrichor and lime, remarkable extract and a chiselled finish. 2024-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 96/100
'From 2 sections of single block, combined for complexity. Pure & intense 2023 opens with signature apricot & mandarin, fantails to flint-edged peach & tangy granadilla. 9 months in oak, 25% new, add smoke & touch of cream before lengthy, concentrated finish.'– Platter's Guide, 5* (95/100)
‘Bright and strawlike in appearance. Leading with intense aromas of blackcurrant, buchu and fynbos, both the nose and palate are immediately engaged and enticed by complex layers of stone fruit and oyster shell flavours. The palate is textured with a vibrant acidity. Elegant and fresh, the wine concludes with a long mineral finish.’ – Winemaker
