ABOUT THIS WINE:
Riebeek Cellars
Sauvignon Blanc
This herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc comes from the western side of South Africa, up the coast from Cape Town. South Africa is a fascinating wine country that is more or less the only substantially sized producer on the entire continent of Africa. This wine is a beautiful, grassy and tropical white wine. Well-balanced with a zesty acidity, we think that every glassful is fresh and great for a warm summer day. Try pairing it with fresh fruits and vegetables hot off the grill. We’ve been enjoying it with artichokes and asparagus dipped in a nice aioli!
Due to state registrations, we cannot ship this wine to CT, GA, IL, MD, MI, OH, PA, SD, TX.ABOUT THIS WINE

WINE REGION:
South Africa
With its mountainous, maritime-influenced winegrowing regions, South Africa produces top-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc and premium Syrah, Pinotage, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The Dutch brought vines here back in the 1600s to satiate their thirsty sailors en route to India, but they probably never imagined just how important to the wine world South Africa would one day become. Indeed, it took centuries for South Africa to discover its full potential. Most of the country's winegrowing areas thrive in the southwest, known as the Western Cape. Its most famous regions are an easy drive from Cape Town and include Stellenbosch, Swartland, Breedekloof and Franschhoek.
