| Description: | What? Another South African wine this week?. Yes, it's that but it's also one of the best white wines in the world that sells for under $15/bottle. Don't believe me? Read on. Simply put, this bottling is fantastic interpretation of Sauvignon Blanc; so good in fact, that last year it was included as a beverage for the crew on a scientific mission to the Antarctic. It hails from one of the most beautiful places I've been fortunate to visit on planet Earth, the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, located behind the picturesque fishing village of Hermanus at the southern tip of Africa. Appropriately translated as "Heaven and Earth", this most southerly of wine regions has it all going on in viticultural terms: vineyards planted in both the famous Table Mountain Sandstone (which amplifies acidity) and in clay-rich slate soils (pumps up the body), and a cool, maritime climate--less than two miles from the Atlantic Ocean--which helps ensure physiological ripeness in the grapes. As for the wine itself? The nose is pungent, an open-air stand of citrus, ginger, flowers, and pepper with the palate showing some herbal hints lurking beneath flavors of lemon and grapefruit. The overall impression is one of edginess and tension buffered by a rich texture. Francophiles will be delighted to taste more of the Loire Valley than New Zealand in its juicy depths (if I must draw the inevitable and tiring comparison). In actuality, this stands on its own as a strikingly original example of the quality South Africa can offer at unbeatable prices. Bonus: Proceeds from the sales of this wine are donated by Hamilton-Russell (the parent winery) to help with the conservation of the amazing Southern Right whales that migrate to Walker Bay during mating and calving seasons.
