Pleasantly surprised.
I took a chance ordering this wine and there were no previous reviews but was pleasantly surprised. On the sweet side but with a nice fruity / floral taste and a refreshing zesty kick. If you are in doubt whether to order you will not be disappointed.

Nice
I got this to try as well why notIt arrived in the brown plain box and was well protected for transit well done.First off this is the first time i have tried this brand, the bottle is the normal run of the mill wine bottle with a very basic simple label, on opening your meet with a nice sweet smelling aroma, i thought mmm its open i will have to try it, i poured myself and mother in law a glass to try it pored into glass well, and i left to settle for a short time before tasting. The taste is simply lush it is a nice dry tasting wine with a very subtle hint of fruits which was not over powering, i ended up finishing the bottle whoops but i was happy with this over all, and in fact happy yo recommend this bottle would complement a nice pasta or fish dish

A Good Wine For The Price
This somewhat ordinary looking white wine is produced exclusively by Amazon and sits comfortably in the budget range of wines at little over six pounds in cost.It is a South African Sauvignon Blanc from the Western Cape, contains 12.5% alcohol and is suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets. The wine does contain sulphites, however apart from the fact that it is an allergen, this is nothing to worry about as nearly every wine that I have ever seen has sulphites. It is a naturally occurring process during fermentation with yeast (that produces the compound). I mention it simply because I have seen other wines being criticised in other reviews for containing it.The bottle itself it pretty minimalistic with a rather plain label and a screw top. Upon opening, the wine had little in terms of nose (aromas), but this did improve a bit once it was poured. You can just detect a slight herb smell, but it wasn't strong enough for me (personally) to be able to identify.The taste of the wine was considerably better than I was expecting, especially at the price. While it definitely is very dry, it is still crisp and refreshing. The flavours are not very complex, but at the same time well balanced with a tiny hint of lime which gives it a bit of a kick. It was an easy and enjoyable wine to drink, but I feel it is more suitable for a "stand alone" wine to enjoy as opposed to something to pair with food. I worry that the good flavours would be lost with any strong foods if you were not carefully which would be a shame.It would be hard to find a better wine at the same price, but on the flip side if you spend a few pound more then there is better on the market. Still, if you are on a budget and want an enjoyable and easy wine to drink, then this is well worth considering. If you do like the taste (which again is impressive for the price), it is also available in a 3 litre box or a case of 6 bottles (with both options working out cheaper per litre).

Enjoyable
I found the wine delightful, light and surprisingly a bit sweeter than I expected. It is a wine I would purchase again to be drunk anytime, not just on a hot summer’s day. I am not a connoisseur of fine wines, but I enjoyed the tipple. Whilst tastes buds may vary, I believe it is a safe bet and should be enjoyed by others. I feel it stands up against other reputable Sauvignon Blancs. Best served chilled.

Tastes Good to Me
I am not going to lie, I am not a wine connoisseur. I know what I like and what I don't like and anything beyond that is far too refined. I am not convinced I could tell a £6 bottle from a £20 bottle so my opinion here is going to be based on taste but mainly practical features.The taste is perfectly good. It doesn't taste sour, but I cannot go into much more detail due to my limited palate. At £6.53 a bottle bought in singles, it comes in at a modest price range, with other bottles being cheaper or significantly more expensive.If you're looking for alcohol to be delivered to your door in batches, without the need to use your local vendors, this is a very practical solution, and would be good especially if you're ordering large amounts to save you the carry hassle. One caveat, you will need to provide ID if appropriate.

Not bad...
Reasonably dry sauvignon blanc, a bit underwhelming, very lite fruity flavour.Good value bottle and well packaged for delivery.

Delicious white wine, perfect with food or on its own.
I like to drink wine - a lot - I know what I like and what I don't, but I'm no expect.What I can say is this is a very tasty white wine - Sauvignon Blanc. I had half a bottle on its own just drinking and enjoying it and the other half with food.It perfectly accompanies food, in my case a chicken pasta dish. And is very easy to drink on its own.It is a fairly dry wine, which I prefer and not overly sweat certainly on the lower end on the scale.Further to all this, the price is perfect. What's not to like. If you like wine I'd say give it a go.5*s I will be buying more.

A tasty Sauvignon Blanc
A very pleasant white wine, though a lot sweeter than I expected for such a dry wine. There’s a slight fizz to it, a fruity body and a bitter citrus note to its finish from the lime.Great to pair with a buttery dish as it cuts through it quite nicely.
