Crafted from 60% Chenin Blanc, 30% Verdelho and 10% Chardonnay, this elegant blend brings together the richness of Chenin Blanc, the vibrant freshness of Verdelho, and the finesse of Chardonnay to create a wine of remarkable complexity and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"485\" data-end=\"1007\"\u003eCarefully barrel fermented and matured for 10 months in French oak, the wine develops impressive texture and depth while preserving its vibrant fruit character. The first month in barrel allows for the completion of alcoholic fermentation and 30% malolactic fermentation, after which the wine remains on its lees to build richness, complexity, and a beautifully creamy mouthfeel. The use of 30% new 300L Burgundy cooper French oak barrels contributes subtle spice and structure without overshadowing the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1009\" data-end=\"1336\"\u003eThe result is a refined white blend with expressive aromas of white peach, pear, citrus blossom, and brioche, supported by vibrant acidity and a long, mineral finish. Already highly acclaimed, the 2025 vintage was named Best Overall in the Cape White Blends Top Six with 95 points. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1009\" data-end=\"1336\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1365\" data-end=\"1492\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1365\" data-end=\"1373\"\u003eNose: \u003c\/strong\u003eWhite peach, pear, lime, yellow grapefruit, orange blossom, brioche, almond brittle, delicate spice, and subtle oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1494\" data-end=\"1646\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1494\" data-end=\"1504\"\u003ePalate: \u003c\/strong\u003eBroad and textured with layers of peach, apricot, citrus, gooseberry, and guava, balanced by vibrant acidity and a silky, creamy mouthfeel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1648\" data-end=\"1765\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1648\" data-end=\"1658\"\u003eFinish: \u003c\/strong\u003eLong, dry, and elegant with lingering stone fruit, citrus zest, subtle spice, and refreshing minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1648\" data-end=\"1765\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1813\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cavalli Estate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1831\" data-end=\"1840\"\u003eWine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reserve White\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1857\" data-end=\"1869\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1877\" data-end=\"1887\"\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60% Chenin Blanc, 30% Verdelho, 10% Chardonnay \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1975\" data-end=\"1986\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helderberg, Stellenbosch, South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2028\" data-end=\"2036\"\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.2% \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2084\" data-end=\"2100\"\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2109\" data-end=\"2126\"\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel fermented in French oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2169\" data-end=\"2184\"\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 months in French oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2220\" data-end=\"2248\"\u003eMalolactic Fermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2255\" data-end=\"2271\"\u003eLees Ageing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matured on the lees after fermentation to enhance texture and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2348\" data-end=\"2363\"\u003eOak Regime:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30% new\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e300L Burgundy cooper French oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2495\" data-end=\"2505\"\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cape White Blends Top Six –\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eBest Overall (95 Points) \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cavalli Estate","offers":[{"title":"Single","offer_id":45279800197143,"sku":null,"price":339.99,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3026\/9496\/files\/Cavalli_Reserve_White_2025_-_Mothercity_Liquor.jpg?v=1783608257","url":"https:\/\/mothercityliquor.co.za\/nl\/products\/cavalli-reserve-white-2025","provider":"Mothercity Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
