Zevenwacht Estate Sauvignon Blanc 75cl. 2022
Pour this cold and the whole glass goes electric. Think passion fruit and green fig with a squeeze of grapefruit, then a zippy bite of acidity that snaps you awake and begs for one more sip. It's dry, bright and built for good company, whether that's a Friday seafood spread or just you, the couch, and zero regrets. We'll have it at your door cold-ish and fast, any hour you fancy.
First sniff and you get elderflower, gooseberry and passion fruit, the kind of green-and-tropical smell that promises something fresh. Then the sip lands: green fig, grapefruit and a little nectarine, all carried on lively, juicy acidity that keeps it taut rather than sharp. There's a faint mineral, almost flinty edge underneath, and a small splash of Sémillon rounds the middle so it doesn't feel thin. Bone dry, long on the finish, no sugar hiding anywhere.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Zevenwacht is a 300-year-old estate on the Stellenbosch wine route, perched up near Kuils River with views all the way to Table Mountain and False Bay. The name is old Dutch for "Seven Expectations," and the cool sea breezes rolling off the bay are exactly why their Sauvignon Blanc keeps that nervy freshness. Fun aside: the slopes were once dotted with tin mines before the First World War, and you can still spot old shafts among the vines. The Johnson family has run the place since 1992, conserving fynbos alongside the grapes.
