Two white wines, two perfect Easter pairings
Long weekends are made for shared tables and good wine. And we’ve lined up two fresh, flavour-filled pairings from Diane Bibby to make yours memorable.
Whether you’re cooking a light seafood dish or revisiting a Cape tradition, these wines bring out the best in every bite. Crafted for connection and easy enjoyment, they’re here to elevate your weekend.
Linguini with shrimp and tomato sauce + Villiera Sauvignon Blanc
Light, bright, and vibrant – this pairing brings coastal flavours and garden freshness to your table. The dish itself is simple but layered: linguini tossed with juicy pan-seared shrimp and a fresh tomato sauce that’s gently infused with garlic and herbs.
Our Villiera Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect match. The wine opens with notes of gooseberry, lime, and green apple. Its crisp acidity slices through the richness of the shrimp and balances the natural acidity of the tomatoes. The herbaceous undertones in the wine highlight the fresh basil and parsley, tying the entire dish together with ease.
It’s the kind of meal you can throw together quickly, but it feels like something you’d serve for a long, slow lunch with people you love.

Traditional South African pickled fish + Villiera Jasmine
A dish rooted in Cape tradition; this is one of those meals that brings generations together. Bibby’s version is beautifully balanced – flaky fried fish gently pickled in a tangy, spiced marinade of vinegar, onion, curry powder, and bay leaves. It’s served cold, making it the ideal make-ahead dish for weekends spent visiting or relaxing.
Enter our Villiera Jasmine: a lightly floral, aromatic white blend with notes of jasmine blossom, honeysuckle, and tropical fruit. Its soft, slightly off-dry profile mellows the sharp edges of the vinegar and enhances the gentle warmth of the spice. This wine brings freshness without overpowering the dish – a subtle and elegant complement to a bold local favourite.
If you’re sharing heritage meals with family this weekend, this is the wine to serve.
