Foothills Vineyards Partners White 2021
R100,00
The most popular wine in the range, with the widest appeal. In essence it is a Bordeaux white blend of Sauvignon Blanc for freshness and notes of fennel and minerality, while Semillon gives palate weight and a dried herb savouriness from its oaking and lees contact. But there’s an exotic note from a dash of Viognier, which lifts the aromatics without detracting from the overall style; it’s subtle, a floral whisper that adds intrigue and interest. The palate is crisp and dry, food-friendly and would be especially good for seafood with creative sauces.

Located in the foothills of the towering Helderberg mountains, a mere 6km from False Bay and within sight of the Atlantic Ocean, these relatively high altitude vineyards enjoy the full benefit of cooling sea breezes and rolling ocean mists. The southern sloping, well-drained sand, gravel and granitic clay soils contribute to an ideal terroir promoting a natural balance between the vigour of the young vines and their yields.
