4th Stree Sweet White 75cl

Sweet white wine should be fun, not a homework assignment. This South African sweet white blend is built for exactly that: chilled glasses, easy conversations, and food with a little kick. The grape variety isn’t listed, so don’t come at it expecting a textbook Chenin Blanc or Sauvignon Blanc moment. Come at it for ripe fruit, gentle sweetness, and a pour that’s happy to hang out.

If dry white wine sometimes feels too sharp, this is a friendlier lane. The sweetness softens the edges, while the white wine freshness keeps things bright enough for dinner, snacks, or a casual night in. It’s the kind of bottle that works when half the table says, “I don’t really know what I like,” because the answer might be this.

• Appearance: Pale straw in the glass, clear and bright.
• Nose: Ripe pear and peach first, with a light floral lift and a little grape-like juiciness.
• Palate: Soft, sweet orchard fruit with easy acidity. Think peach cup, pear nectar, and a mellow citrus touch keeping it lively.
• Body: Light to medium-bodied, with a rounded feel that makes it very easy to sip.
• Finish: Fruity and gentle, with the sweetness fading into soft pear and peach notes.
• Food pairings: Peri-peri chicken, mild chicken curry, salty crisps, creamy pasta, or a fruit tart if dessert is happening.

Pour it well chilled with spicy takeout, bring it to a braai for the friend who always asks for “something a bit sweeter,” or keep it on standby for Tuesday night on the couch. No ceremony needed. Just cold glasses and good timing.

It’s also a smart next step if you usually reach for sweeter Moscato-style wines but want something with a South African spin. You still get the juicy, easy-drinking fruit, just without needing to decode a complicated label before you pour.

Fun Fact: South Africa is one of the world’s oldest wine-producing countries outside Europe, with vineyards dating back to the 1600s. So yes, this easy little sweet white comes from a place with serious wine history, even if the vibe here is completely no-fuss.
