Cape Point Vineyards is uniquely located in the Cape Peninsula where it is set rather majestically against the slopes of the famous Chapman’s Peak mountain range and overlooks the nearby Atlantic Ocean – a mere 1 2km’s away. Cool sea breezes along with ancient mountain soils make for a unique terroir with a late growing season that results in a world class Sauvignon Blanc with minerals tones and great complexity.
Pronounced (ai-lay), a tribute to owner Sybrand van der Spuy’s first granddaughter, Isliedh, shows off the beauty of pairing Sauvignon blanc with Semillon,
Made from grapes grown on the higher, clay-rich, granite soils, which is then fermented in French Oak (Sauvignon Blanc) and locally produced clay amphora (Semillon) to display a complex harmony of citrus and stone fruit, with beautiful white floral notes within the layers of rich, spicy oak.
