Villa Esposto Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Villa Esposto, wine range, pays tribute to the many Italians who have played such a pivotal role in South Africa, not only in the field of winemaking but also in various civil engineering projects. In particular, it pays homage to Louis Theodore Esposto, who arrived from Italy in 1914. Louis and many other Italians built the water canal, that today is a vital “fountain of life” in our wine-growing region, Olifants River.

Perfect with chicken, lamb and curry dishes.

This range is made from bush vine vineyards, on the farm Arbeideind (Basie van Lill) We use 2nd and 3rd fill, French oak barrels for the fermentation process. We're also part of the Old Vine Project, as these vineyards-age ranges from 35+ years.

 

Made from bush vines at a higher altitude and harvested a bit riper, this wine embodies tropical aromas with green undertones. Skin contact prior to pressing, adds to the complexity and gives it a bolder taste. This wine pairs perfectly with chicken, lamb and curry dishes.
