Bon Courage Sauvignon Blanc 2007 WHITE South Africa

South Africa is "the powerhouse of New World Sauvignon" (The Express) and Bon Courage is one of the finest Cape producers. The Bruwer family have owned this beautiful homestead for three generations and making wine at the estate has always been something of a family affair ... even today Grandfather Andre goes out on the tractor to inspect the vines and Jacques Bruwer's youngest son (currently aged 6) shows more interest in the wine and farm than going to school! Nestled in what's known as the "Valley of Wine and Roses" lies Robertson where Bon Courage grown all their vines. The area is blessed with unique soils and plenty of shade from the scorching South African sun allowing the Sauvignon Blanc grapes to ripen slowly but surely to perfection. 2007 was an excellent vintage in South Africa for dry white wines ... evidenced in the crisp intense citrus and gooseberry flavours of Bon Courage. An extremely refreshing drop! Zesty gooseberry and tropical fruit hints make this elegant mouthwatering Sauvignon hard to resist. Crisp dry and with a long and tangy finish. Delicious on its own or with grilled seafood.
