Crafted by Sauvignon Blanc specialist Bayten (short for Buitenverwachting, Dutch for beyond expectation), this always earns Best Buy and Best Value accolades. The 2024 Beyond Sauvignon Blanc is another extreme value in high-quality Sauvignon Blanc.
Hailing from Constantia, South Africa's oldest viticultural zone, Buitenverwachting was established in 1769! These vineyards, just south of Cape Town, are primely situated to produce zesty and mineral-tinged Sauvignon Blanc that are completely singular.
2024 Bayten 'Beyond' Sauvignon Blanc -- Why should you buy it?
- South African Sauvignon Blancs are known for their unique flavor profiles, and Beyond is a great introduction. A bit riper and rounder than their New Zealand counterparts and more savory and herbaceous than French versions, they really are in a league of their own.
- Beyond Sauvignon Blanc shows wonderful varietal character. Zesty flavors of passion fruit, melon, kiwi, and lime are backed by prominent herbal notes and rocky minerality.
- Can you say refreshing? This one will get the juices flowing, but the acidity is a bit more subdued than that which you'd find in a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
It goes best with warm and sunny days, spring vegetables, and creamy goat cheese smeared on a baguette.
