2021 Clara Sauvignon Blanc, Klein Constantia

2021 Clara Sauvignon Blanc, Klein Constantia

Named in honour of American heiress Clara Eliza Hussey, a former owner of the Klein Constantia estate, the Clara is an unparalleled South African Sauvignon where only the best grapes of the vineyard make the cut. Sauvignon Blanc shines in the granite soils of the Constantia hillside, and only free run juice is used. The result is a light, bright and aromatic wine. Truly delicious.

Tasting notes

Clara uses the best barrels from six different sites on the hill above the Klein Constantia winery, located between 220 and 340 metres. Fermented in 50% new oak and acacia - though you wouldn't notice it - this is a precise, focused, higher altitude Sauvignon Blanc with lovely purity and a palate of green herbs and pink grapefruit. 2024-30
