Flagstone Treaty Tree Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2023

This wine is named after Cape Town’s ancient Treaty Tree still standing in Woodstock. In 1509 this wind-sculptured Milkwood witnessed the massacre by local Khoi San of 64 of d’Almeidas infamous, battle-hardened Portuguese marines, who had foolishly abducted a Khoi San baby and attempted to take the infant back to their ships waiting in Table Bay.

Then in 1806 a Peace Treaty was signed beneath its boughs after the British forces defeated the Batavian Republic at the Battle of Blaauwberg. The Flagstone “Treaty Tree Classique White” is crafted passionately with food in mind – we want the wine to make the food look good and add to the enjoyment of the whole dining experience. We have blended the wine to be at once layered and complex, but very drinkable.

The combination of overnight skin contact, concentration of fruit and the meticulous care taken in making this wine, all contributes to the age-ability of the wine. This wine van easily be enjoyed 10 years from vintage.
