Die Nostalgie Sauvignon Blanc is a popular and unmistakable white wine loved for its “green” herbal flavors and well-known zesty flavours of the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town. Sauvignon Blanc grows nearly everywhere and, thus, offers a variety of styles ranging from lean to bountiful. On the nose, expect pungent, in-your-face aromas ranging from freshly cut grass, peas, and asparagus to tropical and ripe passion fruit, grapefruit, or even white pear. On the palate, Die Nostalgie tastes light-bodied with racy acidity and moderate alcohol. Having this on a warm summers day, feels like marrying your best friend.

PAIRING SUGGESTIONS

When in doubt, go green. Sauvignon Blanc makes a wonderful choice with herb-driven sauces over chicken, tofu, or fish dishes. Match it with feta or chèvre or pair it with herb-driven Asian flavors such as Thai or Vietnamese cuisine. The wine is light, so keep your pairings light: try chicken, turkey, pork, halibut, crab, lobster, haddock, bass, cod, salmon, calamari, or smoked salmon. For a cheese pairing, seek out soft, flavorful cheeses like goat cheese, burrata, mozzarella di bufala (in a caprese salad), goat gouda, feta, Parmesan, ricotta salata, yogurt, crème fraîche, or sour cream.
