Sixpence Sauvignon Blanc Sémillon 2021 is an easy-drinking South African white wine that brings together two classic grape varieties in one refreshing bottle. On Oaks & Corks, it is listed as a dry white wine from South Africa in a 750ml bottle with 13% alcohol, making it a smart choice for relaxed sipping, casual dinners, and warm Nairobi evenings.
Produced under the Sixpence range from Opstal Estate, this wine is inspired by a long farm story rather than just a label design. Opstal explains that the Sixpence wines honour the legendary Daniel Smiles, nicknamed “Sixpence”, as well as the men and women who worked on the estate over the years. That backstory gives the range a grounded, human feel, and it suits the wine’s approachable style perfectly.
Tasting Notes
Expect a bright, fruit-led nose with pineapple, lychee and gooseberry. On the palate, Sixpence Sauvignon Blanc Sémillon 2021 shows crisp citrus tones of grapefruit and lemon zest, backed by tropical fruit and a light mineral edge. The finish is fresh, clean and rounded, with acidity that keeps the wine lively and easy to enjoy.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs especially well with pasta, chicken salad and fresh seafood, according to Opstal. It also suits light appetisers, grilled prawns, creamy salads and mild soft cheeses. Its crisp structure and tropical-citrus profile make it a flexible bottle for many occasions.
Accolades
I could not find any clearly published major awards, critic scores, or formal sommelier reviews specifically for Sixpence Sauvignon Blanc Sémillon 2021 from authoritative winery or critic sources.
