Wine of the Weekend

The Beachhouse Sauvignon Blanc

It’s long weekend time! We may not be able to have all the celebrations of Victoria Days past, but our decks, patios and balconies are still calling to us, and refreshment will be called for too. The Beachhouse Sauvignon Blanc is just the thing to quench your thirst for good wine that doesn’t break the bank. Blending the best Sauvignon Blanc from the Western Cape of South Africa, a place that knows something about heat and refreshment, The Beachhouse is just the sip you’re after. It’s also $1 off until May 23, so now’s the time to stock up!

Tasting Note: A refreshing palate teaser, The Beachhouse is 100% Sauvignon Blanc packed with sunny, tropical passion fruit and pineapple, invigorated by a citrus twang and a lively lemon-lime surge through the finish.

Enjoy With: Sunshine, warm breezes, patios, sushi, grilled prawns or fish, roast chicken with herbs, creamy pastas, asparagus and goat cheese.

Style: A dry, light-bodied, crisp white wine.

Terroir / Region: The Western Cape region of South Africa is broken into several smaller districts, each with diverse soil types and several microclimates. Blending these regions can create very well-rounded wines when done properly. These diverse landscapes also support the Cape Floral Kingdom, which has the highest known concentration of plant species in the world!

Producer: The Beachhouse is made by Douglas Green Wines, one of the long-standing, modern wine companies in South Africa (the ‘older’ wineries can date back to the 1600s). Douglas Green started the company over 75 years ago with an extensive knowledge of the Cape’s wine regions, a great understanding of regional blending, and a unique ability to tune-in to consumer desires. His pioneering spirit is still alive and well in the winery’s current team and the wines they are making.

Availability: The Beachhouse Sauvignon Blanc is available in the South Africa section of your local LCBO and is ready to drink as soon as it’s chilled. Grab one before May 23 and save $1.00 off the regular price of a 750ml bottle!
