So I was recently given a sample of "Wine made on a Mountain" and well what an interesting wine it proved to be. This sample, the boutique farms Sauvignon Blanc was crisp and clean right from the word go, but I was truly surprised by the incredible flavours that followed shortly after. It was remarkable how even an untrained pallet such as mine found the rich flavours in the tail.
For me this wine was not about the high elevation or steep slopes of the Helshoogte region where the vines are tucked away. This wine was not about the hand crafted method of production or even the 4 stars Platter's rates it. What I really enjoyed about the wine was how I was almost drawn to have another mouth full, as if my taste buds were questioning those flavours detected in the previous sip.
