Baleia is the only winery in the Lower Duivenhoks River district in the Cape South Coast area, the soils having a high calcium content and hence the names of the wines in the top-end Limitados range.
This isnt your "Normal Sav Blanc" Think French, limestone, chalkyness, minerality...anything but your normal South African Sav Blanc.
Creating Sauvignon Blanc often evokes the charm of crafting a wine that is light, inviting, and enjoyable. However, this pursuit can sometimes lead to bold wines that lack a true sense of place. At Baleia, we have opted for a distinct approach, prioritizing the texture and minerality derived from the land. This methodology serves to underscore the exceptional beauty of the terroir, allowing the wine to reflect its origin authentically.
Tasting Notes: This Sauvignon Blanc showcases a light straw color with remarkable clarity, creating an invitation to a vibrantsensory experience. On the nose, it reveals an enticing bouquet of litchi, rose petals, apricot, and passion fruit. The palate is enriched with flavours ofripe apple and tropical fruits, resulting in a full-bodied and luscious profile. Its opulence is balanced by a crisp minerality, culminating in a refreshing, tropical finish. This wine pairs beautifully with seafood, fresh salads, or creamy cheeses. Enhanced by a touch of Semillon, making it truly stand out in its category.
