Peter Falke PF Sauvignon Blanc 2017
Dating back to the 18th century, the traditional gabled Cape Dutch buildings of Peter Falke Wines belie a contrasting modernity within. The white washed old homestead, with bougainvillea tumbling over its walls, delicate scented roses and wild lavender growing alongside carefully cultivated vineyards, has inside a boutique winery, contemporary wine tasting room and luxurious outdoor lounge with stunning views. Better get out there soon to have one of their sublime dishes on the menu to pair with the Peter Falke PF Sauvignon Blanc 2017.
Werner Schrenk, GM and Winemaker at Peter Falke Wines
Werner Schrenk, GM and Winemaker, tends the vineyards and makes the Peter Falke Wines. High standards of bunch and then berry sorting allow for only the finest grapes to go through to stainless steel tank fermentation. One of the facts about this wine is the 3 months maturation on the fine lees which brings about an interesting creaminess on the wine and adds to the mid palate.
