Story
This delicious sauvignon blanc is an everyday wine favourite on tables throughout the world – offering great value and superb drinking. Boekenhoutskloof Winery proudly named the range after the Crested Porcupine, a most unique and fascinating inhabitant of their farm.
Tasting Notes
Pair this bold and complex wine with the aria "Di Provenza il mar" from La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi. This lyrical baritone aria, famously sung by Giorgio Germont, carries a deep, emotional weight, much like the dark plum and cured meat notes of the wine. The wine's rich, full-bodied profile with its strong tannins and structured acidity parallels the aria’s depth and paternal warmth. As the violets and pepper linger on the finish, the heartfelt melody and reflective tone of the aria echo beautifully, making this a refined and powerful pairing.
Food Pairing
Pair this rich wine with a hearty beef stew or a creamy mushroom risotto.
Wine Makers Note
The wine showcases a perfumed profile with hallmark violet aromas. Focused on structure and texture, the wine expresses great varietal character, enhanced by minimal intervention during winemaking. French oak barriques are used to complement the fruit, avoiding strong oak-derived flavors, resulting in an approachable Rhône-style wine.
