If you've decided the world has enough loud, grassy Sauvignon Blanc, this is the wine for you. The Peacock Wild Ferment comes from the Schapenberg, the coolest, most coastal pocket of Stellenbosch, where False Bay breezes slow ripening, lower yields, and reward patience with finer, more focused fruit. The result is a Sauvignon Blanc that whispers where others shout.
Expect grapefruit pith and lemon zest up front, a streak of ripe mango softening the edges, and a chalky, almost saline minerality running underneath. The wild-yeast fermentation gives the palate a gently honeyed, textured weight you rarely find at this price, while time on the lees adds a creamy roundness without ever blunting the bright, taut finish. It's ripe and generous, but never showy, a properly grown-up Sauvignon.
The fruit is hand-harvested, whole-bunch pressed, and fermented spontaneously with native yeasts. Sulphur is the only addition, and a portion of the blend comes from biodynamic vineyards. It's vegan, sustainably certified, and exactly the kind of thoughtful winemaking you'd expect from the team behind Waterkloof.
Open it with barbecued sea bass and fresh ginger, gently spiced Thai green curry, or a goat's cheese salad on a warm afternoon. We deliver across the UK, and at this price, it's the easiest white in your weekly mix to justify by the case.
