NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Neil Ellis Sauvignon Blanc offers a bright, refreshing palate with aromas of lime and grapefruit.The palate is crisp and well-balanced, with a vibrant acidity and a lingering finish. On the nose, it has intense aromas of green apple, citrus, and grass. The taste is light and refreshing, with a hint of minerality and a zesty finish. An excellent expression of a classic varietal.

The Western Cape is a province of South Africa located in the south-western corner of the country. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Eastern Cape to the east, and the Northern Cape to the north.

The Western Cape has a long and rich history of winemaking. The first vines were planted in the region in 1655 by Dutch settlers, and the first commercial winery was established in 1685. Since then, the region has become one of the most important wine-producing regions in South Africa.CUSTOMER RATING
