Pour this cold and the whole glass lights up: passion fruit, fresh lime, a snap of green herbs. It's dry, it's lively, and the acidity keeps every sip clean so you keep going back. Perfect for a hot Nairobi evening, a Friday after work, or that moment a friend texts "bring wine" and you need something that just works. Want it chilled at your door tonight? That's literally what we do.
First sniff is all tropical brightness, passion fruit and ripe fig with a squeeze of lime. Then the palate turns crisp and green: gooseberry, citrus, a little herby, fynbos edge from the high vineyards. It finishes dry with a zip of bracing acidity that makes your mouth water for the next sip. Nothing sweet, nothing heavy. Just clean, juicy and alive.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Excelsior Estate in Robertson, South Africa, run by the De Wet family who have farmed this land since 1859. Fun bit: alongside the vineyards they breed thoroughbred racehorses, an equine tradition going back over a century, which is why horses turn up all over the brand. The Sauvignon is hand-harvested and blended across three soil types, limestone clay, alluvial and high-altitude shale, which is where that mix of tropical fruit, minerality and fresh herbs comes from. Hands-on, family-run, and seriously good value.
