Tasting notes

Clear, light lime green color. A tropical nose packed with guava, green fig, granadilla and a hint of floral - yet still maintaining a complex character of nettle and freshly cut grass. The mouth-filling ripe fruit is supported by crisp acid. This wine screams one thing: ”Give me more !!!”

Robert Parker 87 points (Aug 2009) The crop of wines I tasted last year from the well-known Mulderbosch Vineyards (with their strikingly old-fashioned, narrow, vertical label) was a bit disappointing, but among more recent releases, their 2008 Sauvignon Blanc is certainly a clean, pungent representation of its grape, in gooseberry and passion fruit mode. A bright, invigorating, citric, herbal, and faintly saline and bitter palate impression leads to a tart, brisk finish. This should serve well over the next 6-9 months if put to the task of accompanying myriad fresh vegetables.
