Frostbite at Westpeak 2024 – Natural Sweet Sauvignon Blanc by BlankBottle

A daring sweet wine from South Africa’s winemaking maverick BLANKbottle, Frostbite at Westpeak 2024 is crafted entirely from 100% vine-dried Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from Elgin’s Valley Road.

Vegan-friendly and elegantly bottled at a modest 10.5% ABV, it’s a sophisticated indulgence for modern palates.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Golden straw hue – delicate and inviting, offering an immediate visual promise of sweetness.

Nose: Luminous and fragrant. Pronounced notes of dried apricot, marmalade, candied citrus, honeycomb, and stone fruit blossom from the glass—ripe but never cloying.

Palate: Rich and unctuous, yet driven by a clean structure. Flavours of preserved lemon, dried peach, wildflower honey, and orange zest are laced with vibrant acidity, keeping the sweetness bright and compelling.

Finish: Long and graceful—sweet orchard fruit echoes against a backdrop of buoyant acidity and fine mineral grip.
