Drostdy Hof Sauvignon Blanc 75cl
Pour this ice-cold and you get a hit of green fig, gooseberry and fresh-cut grass, then a clean citrus snap that wakes your whole mouth up. It's dry, zippy and easy to love, no big oaky weight, just bright fruit and a finish that leaves you reaching for the next sip. Perfect for a hot Nairobi evening, a plate of grilled fish, or a long catch-up on the balcony. Want it tonight? Say the word, we move fast.
Pale straw in the glass. The nose is all green and fresh: green fig, gooseberry, a squeeze of lime and citrus, with that grassy lift Sauvignon Blanc is famous for. Take a sip and the fruit carries straight through, propped up by a zesty, mouth-watering acidity that keeps everything lively. No sweetness, no heavy oak. It finishes clean and dry, crisp enough to make you thirsty for more.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Drostdy-Hof, a name rooted in the pretty little town of Tulbagh in South Africa's Western Cape. Fun bit: the brand is named after De Oude Drostdy, the old magistrate's residence built there in the early 1800s ("drostdy" is the old Dutch word for a magistrate's office). The wine itself is made by Distell, one of South Africa's biggest drinks houses, using Sauvignon Blanc fruit from the Western Cape. Centuries of Cape winemaking history, poured into a very easy-going bottle.
