Mirror Mirror on the wall, which is the fairest Sauvignon Blanc of them all?

It's Wine o'clock in the western Cape winelands as the annual harvest comes to a close and judging by the content look on some of the winemakers faces I do believe the 2010 Vintage will produce some of SA's finest wines to date.

The first wine to touch my pallet at the commence of the 2010 production season has left me and some of my friends in total amazement as it has been unanimously voted as the GREATEST Sauvignon Blanc of all times by our little group of wine lovers, Sitting around my dining room table I opened a bottle of the 2010 Diemersdal Sauvignon Blanc which we had bottled the day before and poured for each a sample, Immediately the room was filled with a bouquet of tropical heaven which was met with disbelief that it was a 2010 vintage, even with severe bottle shock this wine displayed itself as a masterpiece.

Everyone that knows me is fully aware that I am not in the habit of being a wine critic, I believe strongly that is the responsibility of the Brand Ambassador and Marketing teams assigned to the individual Brand as each pallet is different from another, Its all about personal preference. Having said that I have decided with the encouragement and the participation of my wine loving friends to seek out and publish the 10 best Sauvignon Blanc's from the 2010 Vintage within the structures of the Wine World Network and the Vineyard Express.The order of these 10 wines will depend on Brand participation and in the order of discovery so as not to portray a biased representation, A first come first serve approach!

Thus the first wine of the season is the 2010 Diemersdal Sauvignon Blanc!
Wine of Origin Durbanville.
