Sunbird Sauvignon Blanc 2024 - Simonsig

Sauvignon Blanc - Simonsig Wine Estate

Grape variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc.

Vegan wine.

The Cape Flora Kingdom (a unique floral region recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is home to the vibrant Malachite Sunbird, often spotted flitting among the protea flowers that flourish alongside Simonsig Winery's Sauvignon Blanc vineyards. These vineyards are planted at the highest elevation, where the cool ocean breeze from nearby False Bay creates the ideal climate for this grape variety.

This Sauvignon Blanc is pale in color and offers a bouquet of guava, melon, and Cape gooseberry. On the palate, subtle hints of fig and grapefruit are detected, accompanied by a fresh acidity and a harmonious finish. It is the perfect Sauvignon Blanc for any occasion. Best enjoyed young, with further flavor development within 12 to 18 months.

Food Pairings: Perfect as an aperitif on a hot summer day, this wine also pairs very well with rich, fatty foods. Try it with salads, goat cheeses, lemon-garnished fish dishes, and Thai cuisine.

Serving temperature: 15° - 18°.
