The Cape Point Vineyards Isliedh 2019 is one of the Wines of the Year in Tim Atkin MW's 2020 South Africa Special Report.
Blend: 74% Sauvignon Blanc and 26% Sémillon
Tasting notes:
'A Cape classic from a single block, with 10 maximum 5-star ratings since 2003 debut. 2019 has 74% sauvignon fermented in oak, semillon in clay then moved to older barrels. On lees a year. Fascinating aromas, with exotic & spicily perfumed elements adding to complexity. Creamy texture, lemony minerality; lingering finish testifies to fruit concentration. A long life ahead.' – Platter's Guide, 5* (96/100)
'Featuring the highest ever percentage of Semillon (26%) under Riandri Visser's stewardship, this Sauvignon-dominated white is consistently among the best Bordeaux blends in the Cape. Wild yeast fermented in its entirety, it's a stunning achievement, with scented, nuanced 30% new wood, notes of grapefruit pith and umami, a herbal undertone and saline, crunchy, mouth-watering acidity. Drink 2022-27.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 96/100
Alc: 13.5%
About Cape Point Vineyards:
Cape Point Vineyards is an Award-Winning Wine Estate nestled between the fynbos, vineyards and the Atlantic ocean in Noordhoek, Western Cape. On the white wine front, Wine Spectator seems to agree with Neal Martin that Cape Point Vineyards is the go-to address for top Sauvignon Blanc. Their serious Sauvignons are up there with the finest whites in the country, displaying focus, minerality, tension and depth.
