Four Cousins Swt White 75cl
★★★★ 4.0 (2 reviews)Pour this cold and it tastes like sunshine in a glass. Honeysuckle on the nose, then a wave of ripe apricot and tropical fruit that's properly sweet without ever turning sticky. At 9.5% it's gentle, so you can sip it slow on a warm Nairobi evening or hand a glass to the friend who swears they "don't like wine." Spoiler: they'll like this one.
It smells like a fruit basket left in the sun, all honeysuckle and orchard apricot. The first sip is lush and sweet, think dried apricot, soft nougat and a whole tropical fruit salad of pineapple and mango. There's just enough freshness underneath to stop it feeling heavy, and it finishes soft and lingering. No oak, no bitterness, nothing to puzzle over. Easy company.
The details
How to serve it
Get it properly cold, around 6 to 8°C, straight from the fridge or over a few cubes if the night's hot. A regular white wine glass is perfect, but honestly any glass you've got works. Drink it young and chilled rather than cellaring it. It also makes a cracking base for a quick sangria: top with soda, throw in orange slices and ice, done.
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Van Loveren, a family winery in Robertson in South Africa's Breede River Valley. The name is the giveaway: Four Cousins is named after the four Retief cousins who run the place together. It's blended from white muscadel grapes and grape juice, which is where that natural, fruit-driven sweetness comes from. Fun fact: it's grown into South Africa's best-selling bottled wine, so a lot of people clearly agree.
