Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc 2023

"Straw yellow color with golden hints, to the nose it shows intense and persistent perfumes of wild flowers and aromas of yellow pulp fruit such as peach, apricot and golden apple. To the palate it’s rich and velvety with a good dose of freshness and sapidity to balance the great softness. Dry finish, persistent and intensely fruity." —winemaker

"On the nose, notes of blackcurrant, papaya, white pear, melons and grapefruit — all ripe and delicious. Very well balanced and offset by sweet toffee and green bell pepper. On the palate, powerful, mouth-filling and textured. In the Mulderbosch house style, almost a third of this wine's blend was matured on lees in neutral 500L barrels, contributing richness and texture to the wine. This wine exudes what Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc is all about." —winemaker

"Westmalle Tripel is a clear, golden yellow Trappist beer that undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle (9.5% alcohol). It is a complex beer with a fruity aroma and a nice nuanced hop scent. It is soft and creamy in the mouth, with a bitter touch carried by the fruity aroma. An exceptional beer, with a great deal of finesse and elegance. And with a splendid long aftertaste. The Westmalle Tripel is indeed called the 'mother of all tripels.' This type of beer was first brewed in Westmalle abbey in 1934 when the new brewing hall came into use. The current formula has stayed practically unchanged since 1956, thus more than 50 years." —brewer

"Nice red violet colour with high intensity. Strong red fruity hints with elegance notes of liquorice. Balanced on the palate and with a long and elegant fruity aftertaste. Perfect balance between freshness and acidity." —winemaker
