Solitary | Owl House Sauvignon Blanc 2021

The Vibe

This is what Sauvignon Blanc looks like when you let the vineyard do the talking. Grown on south-facing granite slopes, wild fermented in old French oak and left on the lees for months — the result is a Sauvignon Blanc that over-delivers at every turn. Green figs, pear and litchi on the nose, layered with fynbos, sage and a striking flint and granite backbone. On the palate: green fig, peach, green mango, and a minerality that lingers forever. Complex, textured, and completely addictive.

The Perfect Pairing
