Grape

Sauvignon Blanc

Origin
Situated on a plateau 450m above sea level in Elgin overlooking the Atlantic, Iona has one of the coolest vineyard sites in South Africa for it's Sauvignon Blanc. This provides a long ripening season and preserves the freshness and acidity of the grapes.
Taste
A wonderfully expressive Sauvignon with citrus peel, lemongrass and elderberry on the nose. The palate has a surprising richness to it with layers of gooseberry and apple, and a slatey minerality.
Enjoy
A perfect apéritif or drinks party white, or great with salads and seafood.

Press Reviews

  • "Iona makes good sauvignon blanc every year, but for my taste this vibrant new vintage is the best yet. It's made in South Africa's cooler climate regions, is streamlined and gentle, tastes of white peaches and fresh herbs and is dangerously easy to gulp. Try it with soft white cheese or peach, basil and mozzarella salad."

  • "Sauvignon blanc showed that it's gone from great white hope to great white reality. Andrew Gunn's pungently herbal and mouthwateringly crisp 2010 Iona Sauvignon Blanc."
