Boschendal Estate, Special Cuvee Suzanne Blanc

Introducing Suzanne, a sophisticated white blend made in tribute to Suzanne de Lanoy, wife of Boschendal's Huguenot founder Noclas de Lanoy, and the farm's original matriarch. By all accounts she was a formidable, dynamic woman, and a pillar of strength for her family and community. A luminous pale straw colour with a green tint makes this lightly oaked blend inviting at the first glance. On the nose there are appetizing notes of white nectarine, key lime and green fig preserve with elegant oak nuances in the background. Framing the fruit is a hint of stony minerality that adds interest on the mouthfeel. This is a wine that drinks beautifully now but has the complexity to mature for another 5-10 years. A versatile partner for food, enjoy it chilled with shellfish, grilled seabass, roast chicken, veal and vegetable dishes.
