You know that first cold sip that makes your shoulders drop? That's this one. The 1659 Sauvignon Blanc is bright, zesty and properly dry, all passion fruit and grapefruit with a clean snap on the finish. Great on its own while you wait for the grill to catch, even better next to something off it. We'll get it to you cold and fast, any hour.
Stick your nose in and you get green figs, passion fruit and a little gooseberry, that fresh-cut, just-mowed-grass thing Sauvignon Blanc does so well. First sip is all citrus, grapefruit and a squeeze of lime, with a flinty, almost stony edge underneath that keeps it serious. It's bone dry, so no sugar to round it off. The acidity does the work instead, leaving your mouth fresh and ready for the next sip.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Leopard's Leap, a family winery tucked in the Franschhoek Valley, one of South Africa's prettiest wine corners. The 1659 name is a nod to the year the very first Cape wine was pressed, back when Jan van Riebeeck was running the show in Cape Town. Centuries on, it's shorthand for honest, easy-drinking Cape wine that doesn't ask for your whole paycheck. South African sunshine in a bottle, basically.
