Product information "Cape Point Vineyards Isliedh 2023"
Cape Point Vineyards Isliedh is a stunning blend of Cape Coast Sauvignon Blanc and lushly textured Sémillon, with both grape varieties contributing to the remarkable complexity of this highly awarded drop. Delightful floral aromas of white orchids, roses and fragrant peach blossoms ensnare the nose with intensely fruity flavors of white fruits, ripe nectarines, pink grapefruit, fig and lemon curd. A touch of floral oak spice, combined with fresh thyme, gives the wine extra depth. The palate presents itself as lush and rich, saline, full-bodied and well-textured with a classically long-lasting and mineral finish.
Isliedh is a true classic from the Cape, having received the prestigious John Platter South African Wine Guide's 5-star rating a whopping eleven times since its debut in 2003. And for wine critic Tim Atkin, Isliedh is without a doubt "the finest white Bordeaux cuvée in South Africa".

The grapes were hand-picked in the early morning hours and pressed on the whole bunch. The Sauvignon Blanc was fermented in French oak barrels, while the Semillon was aged in old traditional clay amphorae to bring out the mineral aspects of this wonderful grape variety. The Sauvignon Blanc spent ten months in barrel on the coarse lees after completion of alcoholic fermentation, followed by another five months in steel tanks on the fine lees.
