Neil Ellis West Coast Sauvignon Blanc (6 x 750ml)

Experience the cool-climate precision of the Neil Ellis West Coast Sauvignon Blanc, a wine that whispers the secrets of the Atlantic coast. This crisp white originates from low-yielding bush vines grown on the rolling hills of Groenekloof near Darling. You will encounter a vivid bouquet featuring tropical passion fruit, ripe melon, and fresh clementine. Subtle nuances of citrus peel and a delicate imprint of sea-salt minerality reflect the cooling influence of the Benguela Current. On the palate, the wine delivers a smooth and well-balanced mouthfeel with a bright, mouth-watering acidity. You get a masterful interplay of gooseberry and lime that leads into a lingering, poised finish. Trust this “West Coast” classic to provide a sophisticated yet approachable experience that captures the salt-sprayed energy of the Cape.

Neil Ellis West Coast Sauvignon Blanc holds a prestigious reputation, consistently earning a 4.5-star rating in the Platter’s South African Wine Guide. Critics from Wine Enthusiast have awarded recent vintages 89 points, celebrating its “green and flinty” summer-sipping style. The winemaking team utilizes neutral yeasts and cool fermentation temperatures to ensure a beautiful mouthfeel and long-lasting persistence. You should serve this wine chilled to accentuate its vibrant fruit flavors and zesty, refreshing texture. It pairs effortlessly with freshly shucked oysters, grilled line fish, crunchy summer salads, or creamy goats’ cheese. The extended time on the lees creates a lovely viscosity that helps the wine mature gracefully over several years. This 6-bottle case ensures you are always ready for a beach-side sundowner or a festive seafood braai with friends.
