Plaisir de Merle Sauvignon Blanc

Wine information: A Distell showpiece, this 1 000 hectare estate in Simondium, Paarl, has earned international acclaim for its white and red wines. Winemaker Niel Bester attributes the benefits of not only working with great fruit coming from a very unique terrain, but also getting the valuable input from Dr Paul Pontallier, MD at Chateau Margeaux. An historical farm established in 1687, producing wines that are classically styled and accessible, is the goal for all involved. The wine, which had no wood contact, was made in the crisp, fresh style of Sauvignon Blanc. Tropical fruit, winter melon and a hint of spice. A most appealing wine which has an enticing nose that carries through to its taste and holds its own all the way with well-balanced aromatic flavours. Fresh and crisp with gooseberry and tropical fruit. The wine is full and rich in the mouth and has a long, lingering aftertaste.
