The tasting room at Cape Point is superb. As your senses move from the fruit-forward flavours of the lower vineyard blocks to the great complexity and minerality of the grapes further up on the mountain, you will be able to experience the progression of Sauvignon Blanc. Cape Point Vineyards concentrates on four distinct styles: a traditional Sauvignon Blanc, a coastal style Noordhoek Sauvignon Blanc, a Reserve Sauvignon Blanc, and Isliedh, a blend with Semillon, in order to show the complex potential of the Sauvignon Blanc grape and to tempt Sauvignon Blanc enthusiasts’ palates.
