Ntsiki Biyela is South Africa's first Black female winemaker, and in 2016 she self-funded her own label, naming it Aslina after the grandmother whose guidance pushed her forward. The label carries a calabash, the traditional Zulu clay vessel normally used for beer, which she reimagined by filling it with grapes; it's a fair emblem for what she does with Sauvignon Blanc. This is a dry white from Stellenbosch fruit, and in the vintages we've tasted it's been a Sauvignon that goes well past the usual squeeze of grapefruit — it is a grape that too often arrives as pure acid and nothing else. That extra dimension is why this bottle keeps overdelivering for what it costs. A serious wine with a genuinely great story behind it, and no pretension anywhere near it.

More about Aslina Wines

Aslina Wines was founded in 2016 by Ntsiki Biyela, South Africa's first black female winemaker, named after her grandmother. She self-funded the project and released wines in 2017: Cabernet, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and a Bordeaux-style blend called Umsasane. She's working Stellenbosch's finest terroirs with zero compromise. This is wine made by someone who had to invent her own path. The quality is formidable.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled sardines with lemon, Cape Malay fish curry, goat cheese salad with green herbs, oysters, ceviche, asparagus with hollandaise, or a plate of sushi.

Tasting Profile

Dry and light-bodied, with citrus and grapefruit aromas alongside green herbal and mineral notes. Bright, thirst-quenching acidity and a clean, lingering, citrus-driven finish.
