6 OF THE 11 TOP SAUVIGNON BLANCS AS SELECTED BY THE WINE MAGAZINE PANEL ARE FROM DURBANVILLE FRUIT!

November wine magazine is the very contentious “whites only” issue where the “Wine Magazine panel” taste and rate all the white wines for the year - focussing on sauvignon blanc, the consumer’s favourite. Our Nitida Sauvignon (standard range) was included in their top 10 as were 3 other Durbanville Wines (and 2 others made with Durbanville grapes). Our Woolworths Limited release variant received 3 1/2 stars, our club select 3 stars. No matter that they rate our sauvignons completely differently to the way we do - not unusual in a tasting - what is important is that the class of all our wines is appreciated - which one you choose is a matter of individual preference. Important other stats - Nitida is ranked 8th on the “best value” rating on sauvignon blanc, with the average price for top ten at R60 (Nitida cellar door is R56).
