Wine Magazine Top 10 Sauvignon blanc!!


At a luncheon on Wednesday the 20th of October, it was announced that Darling Cellars Bush Vine Sauvignon Blanc 2010 was one of the Top 10 Sauvignon Blancs in Wine Magazines’ annual Sauvignon Blanc competition. It is the first time that Darling Cellars features in the Top 10.

Says Welma Myburgh, white-wine maker at Darling Cellars: “It is great to receive recognition as a bigger producer of Sauvignon Blanc compared to all the smaller estates that did well. It confirms what we’ve known all these years about the quality of Sauvignon Blanc in Darling and also rewards all the hard work put in by all…the farmers, viticulturist and winemaking team. And it also feels great!”

The Bush Vine Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of various vineyards from the Darling area and comes from un-irrigated bush vines. The wine portrays a beautiful passion fruit nose, with hints of green pepper and freshly cut grass on the palate. It is also the Sauvignon Blanc with the lowest alcohol of the Top 10 wines.
