Enjoy Aquiline Sauvignon Blanc, Western Cape for its vibrant citrus and ripe stonefruit notes. This refreshing white wine has a light tropical tilt, balanced by crisp green apple acidity and a hint of lemon grass. Its finish has a nice streak of minerality. Perfect for pairing with Peri Peri chicken or asparagus lemon risotto.

About the Producer

Boutinot South Africa is driven by a passion for discovery and desire to capture the real essence of South Africa in every bottle. It was the simple love of Loire Chenin Blanc that first led Boutinot to South Africa in 1994, where they pioneered the wild ferment style that has now been adopted by many producers in this region.

Since then they have been exploring the country's amazing vineyards to make fabulous wines from specific sites and plots that scream location, location, terroir. A home-grown South African winemaking team of JD Rossouw and Ryno Booysen drive the energy and enthusiasm for expressing the loveliest wines from their country, along with Samantha Bailey's expertise in finesse. The key is knowing the characteristics of each plot, understanding the benefits each cultivar can bring, breaking rules and pushing boundaries. A combination of knowledge, a love of nature and science is used to create versatile, expressive and food-friendly wines from a country that has been making wine for 360 years.

Vineyard and Winery

Hand picked in the early morning, the grapes were softly pressed to tank and settled for 2 days. After a long, cool fermentation the wine stays on its fine lees for 5 months until bottling.
