Pour this cold and your first sip basically slaps you awake. Passionfruit, lime and a green-grass snap, all riding on acidity sharp enough to make your mouth water for the next one. It's bone dry and bright, the kind of white you want when Nairobi's been warm all day and you just need something alive in the glass. Grab it for the balcony, the catch-up, the late one. We'll get it to you fast.
Stick your nose in and you get a hit of passionfruit and gooseberry, fresh-cut grass, a squeeze of lime and grapefruit. The sip follows through: crunchy green apple, more of that tropical lift, then a clean citrus finish with a faint tonic-like bitter twist that keeps it interesting. Light to medium in weight, zippy acidity running the whole show. Nothing sweet here, just fresh and zingy from start to finish.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Hesketh Wines, a family outfit out of South Australia run by Jonathon Hesketh, a bloke who grew up around the wine trade and went off to learn it properly before doing his own thing. The fruit comes off South Australia's cooler corners like the Limestone Coast, prime Sauvignon Blanc country where the chill keeps everything fresh and snappy. They ferment it in stainless steel with barely any skin contact, which is the whole trick to keeping it this crisp and clean. The name's a cheeky nod to the roaring-twenties party set, which fits a wine this lively.
