Lubanzi Sauvignon Blanc · South Africa · 2023
The Moment
This is the bottle that brings everyone together. The one that works whether people are deep in conversation, standing around the kitchen, or passing plates across the table — easygoing, expressive, and quietly crowd-pleasing.
What It Feels Like
Bright tropical fruit leads the way — guava and passionfruit up front — followed by yellow stone fruit and a subtle, intriguing note of banana peel that adds character without overpowering. There’s a gentle herbal edge from South Africa’s native fynbos and a touch of texture from a small portion of skin-contact Colombard, giving the wine more depth than you expect. Crisp, juicy, and refreshing all the way through.
