Durbanville Hills’ The Tangram white blend 2018 has been named one of the world’s 12 highest-scoring wines at the 2021 Global Sauvignon Blanc Masters hosted by The Drinks Business.
It competed against 200 sauvignon blancs from around the world, including some of the very best produced in France, Chile, New Zealand and the US.
Cellar master Martin Moore said the seed for the wine was planted in the farm’s very first harvest in 1999 when the vision was to one day craft a top-end blend, one that would showcase the farm’s unique location with its proximity to the ocean and cooling sea breezes, valleys enclosed by hills offering slopes of varying altitudes, rich soils with excellent water retention, and a cool climate with a distinctive microclimate.
The wine is a blend of 76% sauvignon blanc and 24% semillon, matured for 10 months in French oak, and is made for long-term cellaring.
Price: R235 a bottle
