At the Southerly point of Africa, along the Cape South Coast is the coolest wine region - Elgin. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at an altitude of 450m along the Southern ridge lies the unique Iona vineyards surrounded by the Unesco certified Kogelberg Biosphere. Iona's approach is hands off and the land is farmed according to organic and biodynamic practices with a particular focus on ensuring the health of the soils whilst pests are kept under control by the resident flock of geese that roam the vineyards.

The Sophie range uses fruit from Iona's vineyards as well as bought in grapes from dedicated growers in the Cape South Coast region. The te’Blanche Sauv Blanc is fresh, crisp, balanced, accessible, and delicious! Vibrant pure fruit aromas of cut green apples, zesty limes, gooseberries and tropical notes with white flowers and subtle mineral undertones.

Pair with lightly grilled white fish with lemon and olive oil drizzle.

This is a fine, fleshy if lower key sauvignon with aromas of gooseberry, greengage plum, grapefruit and some fresh herbs. It is quite firm, lively and dry with a sense of minerality. The length is very good to excellent. Just fine at the price and holding to South Africa's value band/ Tasted January 2023
