Grande Provence Angels Tears Sauvignon Blanc

The "Angels Tears" line of South African wines, launched in 1992, is named after a legend that originated in the French town of Frenay in the 18th century. An outstanding grape harvest allowed for the production of an extraordinarily aromatic wine, which locals began to call ambrosia. The rumors spread and grew into a legend. Ambrosia is the food of the ancient Greek gods. Where there are gods, angels are not far behind. Thus, angels appeared, who, according to rumors, stole the wine at night. The wine was so good that even the angels could not resist temptation. Wetting their lips with the precious ambrosia, the angels cried tears of joy and shame. The angels' tears mixed with the wine, becoming their magical ingredient. Each bottle of the "Angels Tears" series contains exactly 777 drops of the drink, including several tears of a fallen angel. The dry white wine "Angels Tears" Sauvignon Blanc is made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The berries are grown on a 10-hectare plot located in the Western Cape. The first vines were planted here in 1694 by a family of Huguenots. The grapes are hand-harvested at an early stage of ripeness, then carefully sorted, destemmed, and gently pressed. A two-week alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 13 °C. The wine ages on fine lees for 4 months also in steel tanks. The wine has received numerous high ratings from the South African wine guide "Platter's South African Wine Guide."
