Warwick Professor Black Sauvignon Blanc 75 cl

Crisp, citrus-forward, and seriously refreshing, this South African Sauvignon Blanc is all about clean lines and bright flavour, no heavy, sleepy vibes.

• Appearance: Pale straw with a greenish tint, clear and bright in the glass.
• Nose: Grapefruit, lime peel, gooseberry, and a green, herb-y lift (think freshly crushed leaves).
• Taste: Zesty citrus and tart stone fruit up front, then a saline, mouthwatering acidity that keeps it dry and snappy.
• Body: Light to medium-bodied, brisk and energetic rather than rich.
• Finish: Clean, citrus-peel finish with a lingering, fresh herb note that begs for another sip.

If you’ve ever had a white wine that felt a bit too soft or sweet-leaning, this is the reset button. Sauvignon Blanc is loved for its bright acidity, and this one leans right into that, giving you a sharp, fresh profile that cuts through rich bites and keeps your palate feeling awake.

What makes it worth your fridge space is the balance. You get bold, punchy flavours, citrus, green fruit, a hint of grassy freshness, but it stays tight and clean instead of turning sour or overwhelming. It’s the kind of wine that’s easy to love if you like your whites crisp, dry, and lively.

South Africa is quietly one of the best places to shop for Sauvignon Blanc when you want real flavour without the fuss. The style here often lands in that sweet spot between fruit and freshness, giving you brightness and structure in the same sip.

Bring it to a seafood night, pour it with spicy dishes, or crack it when the snack situation involves anything salty and crunchy. It’s also a strong pick when you’re hosting people with different tastes, most folks can agree on a crisp Sauvignon Blanc.

Fun Fact: Warwick is a well-known Cape wine estate, and “Professor Black” is a nod to one of its founding figures, Professor William Black, a former owner whose name still lives on through the label.
