About the Session

Just how well do modern-era South African wines perform as they get older ? One of the most important measures of great wine is that it should be age-worthy, that is it should become more pleasurable and more interesting to drink with time in the bottle.

About this Item

Sauvignon Blanc, 2013

The Black Oystercatcher is a family-run wine farm at the cool southernmost tip of Africa. The unique region crafts the cool-climate wines, creating penetrating fruit flavours, and a distinctive minerality.

Critics Ratings

'100% Sauvignon Blanc. Grapes harvested in three batches. Extended lees contact after fermentation. Struck-match reduction before citrus and blackcurrant. The palate is forceful with great depth of fruit and big acidity. Still remarkably youthful.' - WineMag.co.za 2013 Vintage report (March 2023), 92/100

'Elegant, poised 2013 is ripe & round, with appealing twist of nettle & khaki bush spicing gooseberry & granadilla fruit. Generous body & finish, with moderate 13% alcohol.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2015, 4*
