The Berrio Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Sauvignon Blanc
Description
The Berrio Sauvignon Blanc 2021 emerges from vineyards near the Agulhas Wine Triangle, where cool breezes off the Indian and Atlantic Oceans shape a distinctive Sauvignon Blanc style marked by vibrant acidity and a mineral edge. Crafted under the guidance of winemaker Bruce Jack, this wine sees gentle handling in the cellar - including extended lees contact and a touch of skin ferment - to build texture and precision without losing varietal purity. It’s a clear expression of place: saline-tinged, focused and refreshing, showing why southern Cape terroir is gaining attention for white wines of character and nuance.
Colour: Pale straw with green-tinged highlights, signalling youthful intensity.
Nose: Fresh pear and lime zest intertwine with subtle fynbos and fennel aromatics, offering a distinctive signal of its coastal origin.
Palate: The palate is lively and vibrant, with pure fruit flavours supported by racy acidity. Mineral notes and a touch of saline complexity add depth, while a balanced texture - aided by lees contact - gives this Sauvignon Blanc weight beyond its alcohol.
Finish: Clean and refreshing with lingering citrus and a hint of sea-salt impression that underscores its Agulhas roots.

The Berrio Sauvignon Blanc 2021
- Food Pairing : The Berrio Sauvignon Blanc 2021 pairs beautifully with dishes that mirror its bright acidity and mineral drive. Try it with zesty grilled calamari with lemon and parsley, where the citrus ascent lifts the seafood’s natural sweetness; or a green herb and goat’s cheese tart, where its acidity cuts through creaminess and accentuates fresh herb flavours. For something heartier, a citrus-marinated chicken salad with avocado and fennel resonates with the wine’s pear and lime profile, making every bite vibrant and balanced.
- Drink before: Best enjoyed now through the next 2–4 years; the vibrant acidity keeps it lively and approachable.
