André van Rensburg Sauvignon Blanc - Semillon 2023
This Sauvignon–Sémillon blend presents bright citrus and green-apple aromas with hints of herbs and fresh greenery. On the palate it feels zippy and lively but carries a weight and texture that give it more body than a straight Sauvignon. The finish is crisp, clean and refreshing, with subtle length.

The André van Rensburg Sauvignon Blanc–Sémillon feels like a modern Cape white that balances purity and depth from start to finish. On pouring you sense freshness—zesty citrus, green apple and a light herbal lift—yet there’s also an underlying texture from the Sémillon that gives the wine weight and presence on the palate. As it opens, subtle mineral and saline whispers emerge alongside bright fruit. Acidity keeps it lively and refreshing, but the mid-palate feels rounder and more structured than a typical straight Sauvignon. The finish is crisp but lingering, leaving a clean, fresh impression. It’s exactly the kind of wine that’s easy to enjoy on its own, but also elegant enough to partner beautifully with shellfish, white-meat dishes or lightly seasoned vegetarian fare.
The wine is produced by André van Rensburg in Stellenbosch, South Africa. It blends Sauvignon Blanc with a portion of Sémillon. It’s typically fermented (some with light oak/stainless combination) to combine Sauvignon’s freshness with Semillon’s texture and weight.
