You want something cold, zingy and properly dry tonight? This is your bottle. The Cilmor Sauvignon Blanc hits like a squeeze of fresh lime, all bright citrus and that green, just-snapped gooseberry tang that wakes your whole mouth up. Zero sweetness, loads of zip. Pour it ice-cold on a hot Nairobi evening and it basically does the work for you.
First sniff is all citrus, think lemon and lime zest, with a green hum of gooseberry and a slice of crunchy green apple behind it. On the tongue it's lean and zesty, dry as you like, with a bright streak of acidity that keeps everything tight and clean. No sugar, no fuss. It finishes quick and tart, the kind of pour that makes you go back for another sip straight away.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Cilmor, a winery tucked into the Breede River Valley around Worcester in South Africa's Western Cape, sitting at the foot of the Dewetsberg mountains. Here's the cool bit: the place was started back in 1997 in memory of Cecil Morgan, a farmer who poured his life into these vineyards and never got to see the finished cellar. His crew carry it on, and they run the whole operation Fairtrade certified, so the people growing the grapes get a fair shake too. Decent wine, decent story.
