Benguela Cove Sauvignon Blanc 75cl

From South Africa’s Walker Bay, Benguela Cove Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a dry white wine with a light to medium-bodied style and a racy, finely drawn character. Sauvignon Blanc gives this vintage a bright profile, with kiwi and citrus notes lifted by hints of gunflint and a fresh mineral edge.

Tropical fruit aromas carry through on the palate, where persistent, mouth-watering acidity brings energy and length. Its crisp finish and lively structure make it a natural choice for fresh, flavour-led dishes, particularly burrata and melon salad, Szechuan prawns, steak tartare or basil pesto pasta.
