Electrifying Elegance

This is no ordinary Sauvignon Blanc—it’s an elegant, layered masterpiece reminiscent of a dry white Bordeaux. With a sophisticated richness, it reveals layers of citrus, straw, and minerality, alongside herbal notes and a whisper of creamy vanilla. This wine promises to evolve beautifully over the next 3-4 years, offering a truly remarkable experience.

Tasting Notes

A symphony of citrus, herbal nuances, and subtle creaminess unfolds on the palate, supported by vibrant acidity and a mineral-driven finish. It’s both refined and complex, balancing freshness with depth.

Perfect Serve

Serve lightly chilled alongside roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes, or aged goat cheese to elevate your dining experience.

Artisan Craftsmanship

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are sourced from the picturesque Vaalvlei and Stonefields vineyards in Stanford, with their ocean-cooled, decomposed granite soils. The Semillon comes from La Vierge in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, bringing an added layer of sophistication. This wine was crafted using a combination of innovative techniques, including fermentation in eggs, old wood, and stainless steel. A portion was aged on lees, with 10% coming from the extraordinary 2020 vintage aged 18 months in barrel. The result is a wine that is both cutting-edge and classic, with a total production of just 6,500 bottles.

Conservation Heritage

Lightning, the wine’s namesake, was the Kruger National Park’s legendary alpha male painted wolf, renowned for his distinctive lightning-shaped marking and enduring legacy. Painted Wolf Wines honours his spirit and supports African wild dog conservation through their work.
