Winemaking
Grapes for this wine are hand-selected from older vineyard parcels that best display the uniqueness of our Noordhoek terroir. Fruity elements are derived from blocks in the valley that enjoy longer hours of sunlight. For balance, we select grapes from the vineyard blocks that fall in the shadow of the Chapman’s Peak Mountain Range for most of the morning.
Composition
- 97.5% Sauvignon Blanc
- 2.5% Sémillon

“Riandri Visser’s first standalone vintage is a cracker. The Cape Point Isliedh is a benchmark South African white and the 2017 is one of the finest to date. Buchu, spice, florals and good fruit concentration are underpinned by a fine acidity with a saline, lingering finish. A greater degree of Sémillon adds gravitas to the 2017; similar to the best ageing vintages of the past.”
