Warwick Estate Professor Black Sauvignon Blanc 750 ml
Tasting Notes
Wine Profile:
Named after the legendary Professor Black, whose orchards once flourished where Warwick’s vineyards now stand, this Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant and expressive showcase of Stellenbosch terroir. With a perfect balance of tropical fruit, zesty acidity, and minerality, it delivers both complexity and refreshment.
Appearance:
Pale straw with a touch of green, reflecting its crisp and youthful character.
Nose:
A lively aromatic profile bursts with passion fruit, ripe gooseberry, and guava, layered with citrus zest and fresh-cut grass. Subtle floral and flinty undertones add further dimension, hinting at the wine’s depth.
Palate:
Refreshing and fruit-driven, the palate unfolds with layers of tropical fruit—pineapple, lime, and grapefruit—balanced by a crisp acidity. A subtle saline minerality adds complexity, leading to a clean, lingering finish with a touch of citrus pith and fresh herbs.
Food Pairing:
A natural partner for fresh seafood, including oysters, ceviche, and grilled prawns. Also pairs beautifully with goat’s cheese, summer salads, and light vegetarian dishes.
Cellaring Potential:
Best enjoyed in its vibrant youth, but can develop additional complexity over 2–4 years.
