The Breedekloof is renowned for its diverse soil types and topography, offering us the advantage of a wide range of blending options in the winery. For the Blush, a conservative amount of Shiraz was added to the fermented Sauvignon Blanc, creating a beautiful light salmon color and a fresh, appealing palate with notes of rose petal and nectarine sorbet with a squeeze of lime. Blush goes brilliantly with fresh oysters sprinkled with lime juice, fresh scampi and triple cooked wedges with dill-infused mayonnaise and of course butter chicken curry.

The distinctive character of this wine comes from skillfully blending premium Sauvignon Blanc grapes sourced from different regions. The cool climate of the Cape South Coast contributes intense notes of crunchy green apple and lemongrass, while the riper components from the Breedekloof add juicy white peach and a hint of citrus. The wine offers great versatility – think fresh green herbs like parsley, basil, coriander, or mint with a squeeze of lime. These flavours shine in salads, rice dishes, or a delicate sauce served with fish like sole or snapper.
