The Altima Sauvignon Blanc is produced by Cape of Good Hope Wines which is a brand under Anthonij Rupert Wyne.
The grapes come from the Altima Estate in Elandskloof Valley, a secluded, cool‐climate vineyard in the Western Cape (Overberg/Cape South Coast).
Rupert & Rothschild Vignerons
In terms of character, the wine typically shows aromas of tropical fruit (guava, kiwi, sometimes fig), as well as citrus notes like grapefruit, and a flinty/mineral edge.
Cape of Good Hope Wines
On the palate it tends to be crisp, energetic, with bright acidity and good minerality — often with a long finish.
Some specific data from the 2023 vintage:
Alcohol around 13%
Total acidity approx 7.2 g/L with a low pH (~3.07)
Residual sugar modest (dry style) ~3.7 g/L.
It is priced locally (South Africa) around R155 per bottle (2023 vintage). Radio Life & Style on Facebook · The Morning Show Sponsor: Excellerate Security
