We know so many people who adore this wine. They’re certainly onto something – as sauvignon blancs go, it’s a cracker.

Our pick for this week:

Springfield Life From Stone Sauvignon Blanc

R189.99; buy six online and save 10%, Woolworths

Why we love it:

Late summer, sauvignon blanc, and a 10% saving when you buy six online – now that’s a trio worth toasting! Life From Stone isn’t just a name; it’s a testament to the vineyard’s perseverance. Grown in quartz-rich soils so rocky that dynamite was once used to plant the vines, this wine delivers a flinty, mineral character true to its terroir. Enjoy it now or consign it to the cellar to let its legend grow.
