Maanschijn

Maanschijn were one of the growers that were part of my “Cape South Coaster” collective tasting. Douglas Mylrea and Paul Hoogwerf are at the helm here and source fruit from the entire Walker Bay area, telling me that the mixed variety vineyards of Northern Portugal and Swartland inspire them. “We want to make Sauvignon Blanc cool again!” they enthused. Their intentions are sound, though I just feel that their Herbarium Cape White needs a little more identity and focus, which may oblige a bit of rejiggling of varieties, and I preferred their Rhône/Syrah-inspired Red Blend. Anyway, one to watch.
