Meerendal White Pearl - Blanc Fumé Cape Town - South Africa

White Pearl – this barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc tells the story of a journey from the sun-drenched vineyards of South Africa to the glass. During fermentation in oak, it absorbs delicate notes of vanilla, toasty aromas and elegant spice, while micro-oxygenation lends it a silky maturity, depth and balance. The result is a white wine full of freshness, structure, maturity and character. Drinking window: 3-4 years.

Characteristics

This Sauvignon Blanc shines pale yellow with a hint of silver in the glass. On the nose, aromas of exotic citrus fruits, juicy grapefruit and delicate tropical notes dance together. A fine touch of oak lends it a mysterious depth. On the palate it is lively, fresh and full of refinement. Its time in barrel adds an elegant creaminess that harmonises perfectly with its vibrant acidity.

Serving suggestion

Enjoy this Blanc Fumé as the perfect companion to fine seafood, delicate fish or an elegant cheese selection. Served on its own, too, it impresses with its complexity. Well chilled, it reveals its full class.
