Wild Horseshoe Sauvignon Blanc 2024
R315.00
The Wild Horseshoe Sauvignon Blanc is a bold, leesy, spicy and concentrated Sauvignon Blanc that shows a touch of oak, flavours of quince and tropical fruit, some grape tannins and a smoky flourish. Intriguing stuff. Over many decades, the vineyards at Diemersdal have been ploughed with horses and even up to today on rare occasions we find their horseshoes in the vineyards. The lucky finder takes them to our cellar, where they all hang to catch the good luck.
