No need for clues or guessing, it was Professor Black in the dining room with the Sauvignon Blanc.
Warwick Estate’s vegan-friendly Professor Black Sauvignon Blanc 2021 comes from two blocks high on the Simonsberg in Stellenbosch. One was planted in 2003, but the other is much older having been planted back in 1985. Using these two very different plots adds complexity, texture and balance, with the intensity of the old vine fruit complemented by the explosive freshness of the Sauvignon Blanc from the younger vines. Expect elderflower, nettle, passionfruit, lime zest, grass, wildflowers and more…
94 points, “Ripe and aromatic on the nose, with gentle florals appearing alongside leafy aromas. The palate is juicy with citrus and pineapple fruit notes coming forward. Classically structured and lengthy.” – International Wine & Spirit Competition 2021
Located in South Africa’s second-oldest wine region on land that has a farming history stretching back to 1771, Warwick Estate is one of the country’s most loved producers. You’ll find them nestled in the foothills of the iconic Simonsberg Mountain, making world-class wines that offer serious value for money. Stan and Norma Ratcliffe purchased the estate in 1964, and Norma became such a legend on South Africa’s wine scene that she was awarded the 1659 Medal of Honour. Although this accolade is not a household name in the UK, it’s worth noting that Nelson Mandela was one of the previous winners.
