Gooseberry, citrus and green pepper lead on this full-bodied white from Morgenhof. On the palate, round flavors of gooseberry and lemon are lifted by a crisp acidity, though the wine is generally bigger than it is fresh. A serious Sauvignon Blanc that can be sipped alone or with spicy cuisine, seafood.——S.K.(9/1/2009)—— 89

(South Africa) Tight aromas of ripe gooseberries and mineral. Confected gooseberry palate with pineapple and citrus acid on finish.

That the aromas are sweet and perfumed is unconventional, given that South African SBs tend to be on the sharper side. In the mouth, lime and peach flavors are solid until the finish. Detracting from the overall package, however, is a somewhat flat-feeling palate. —M.S.——M.S.(4/1/2002)—— 85

Light and lean, this has good acidity and nice citrusy, herbal notes, but lacks fruit and finishes a bit tart. Serviceable, but not much more. Drink now. 100 cases imported.??–JS??Region: South Africa / Western Cape / Coastal Region / Stellenbosch / Stellenbosch Select to Add
