You know that first cold sip that makes you sit up a little straighter? That's this. The War Horse Sauvignon Blanc is bright, dry and loud in the best way, all lime and grapefruit with a stony little snap on the end. Pour it on a hot Nairobi evening, line up some grilled prawns or a sharp goat cheese, and you've basically sorted the night. Tell us the hour, we'll get it to your door cold.
Stick your nose in and it's a citrus market: fresh lime, pink grapefruit, a squeeze of tropical fruit and that cool wet-stone smell sommeliers call mineral (think the air after rain on tarmac). First sip and the acidity does a little dance across your tongue, zesty and mouth-watering, with a green twist behind it like just-snapped green pepper. No sugar to soften it. It finishes clean and dry and leaves you reaching straight back for the glass.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
The War Horse comes out of Stellenbosch, the heart of South African wine country, where cool ocean breezes off the Cape roll in and keep the Sauvignon Blanc grapes crisp and aromatic instead of flat and flabby. That sea-cooled climate is exactly why South African Sauvignon Blanc has such a zingy, green-edged style. Nice bonus: it's certified vegan, so no animal products used in the fining.
