I nipped into Lidl for some sorely need meat, and ended up buying this South African Sauvignon Blanc, which I think I may have already written about. I could easily find out, but it\u2019s more fun to move forward. Moreover, I think I have finally found a Savvy that I could not possibly blind taste as such. Well, maybe a bit, but it\u2019s dirt cheap enough that it actually tastes like white wine. Typically, when I\u2019m blind tasting and it tastes like white wine, it\u2019s Italian. They do that fairly well. Apparently this is called Rosecreek, and it is from the Western Cape. The nose and the palate both have a chalkiness, that would normally send me to the Loire. There\u2019s actually nothing wrong with this wine. It\u2019s not hot, it isn\u2019t watery, it has a bit of body in the mid-palate, the acid is ample, and peaches tend to dominate the simplicity. I actually bought this so I could hate on it, but I can\u2019t. It\u2019s 2017, oh and I see it was bottled in Germany, which makes perfect sense. Now I remember. Now I wonder what I wrote before\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t love it, and I don\u2019t hate it. It\u2019s basically any of a thousands pop songs written in the 90\u2019s in the wake of grunge; trying and failing to be edgy, not as horrible as Creed or Nickelback, but as immemorable as everything by the Counting Crows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s actually changed a bit or is in a different vintage than when I reviewed it in April of 2020. Then I got a lot of green. Now, it\u2019s more yellow, more stone fruit, and some actual minerality, which was apparently not there in April. It\u2019s a bit meh, Spaceballs was a bit meh as well.
