Incredible price! Herbal, lime and grassy good. Very refreshing. Wonderful quaffer. This South African Sauvignon Blanc shows its roots in the cool climate of the Elgin region. Finishes with a whiff of ocean spray and terrific minerality. Try it with fresh oysters.

Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: pasta, shellfish, Caesar salad, corned beef and cabbage, turkey pot pie.

Reviews and Ratings

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes for this vibrant South African white wine are sourced from the Thelema Mountains Vineyards. The wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit flavour. Great value. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
