Horny Owl Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Western Cape, South Africa

Horny Owl Sauvignon Blanc from Lothian Vineyards is a beautiful white wine gem from Elgin, just 45 miles southeast of Cape Town. In its opulent setting on the banks of the Palmiet River and a private lake in the Elgin Valley, Lothian Vineyards shines in a class of its own. It is situated in the Kogelberg, the world’s richest and most diverse biosphere with more than 1800 plant species, of which over 70 are found nowhere else on the planet. Nighttime in this ecological paradise is the realm of the horned Cape Eagle Owls, whose amorous activities are shrouded in darkness!

The Horny Owl range of cool climate wines is designed for everyday fuss-free enjoyment. Produced in limited quantities to ensure the highest quality, these wines were uncompromisingly crafted from only the finest hand-harvested, cool-climate Elgin fruit and created to offer instantaneous enjoyment in their youth, but with ample pedigree to ensure sumptuous gratification if carefully cellared at a time in the not too distant future. The label is irreverent, a tad risqué, a lot of fun and aimed to elicit jovial conversation, break the ice, cajole a smile or perhaps ignite a moment of bliss.

The 2024 Lothian Horny Owl Sauvignon Blanc offers alluring aromas of guava juice, warm oranges and blood-red grapefruit. A soft and juicy entry with refreshing, well-integrated acidity and a hint of sweetness to balance and add to the complexity. Beautiful mid-palate weight, the flavours exude clementine peel, ripe apple and guava pieces, and the finish is zesty and long. Vegan.

Enjoy Horny Owl Sauvignon Blanc with grilled red snapper, roast chicken, Cobb salad, and mild cheeses.
