TASTING NOTES
Concentrated, typically Sauvignon Blanc nose with a
beautiful herbaceous character mingling with greenpepper, ripe figs and
tropical undertones - followed by a long, dry and refreshing palate. Drink
chilled within 3 years.

Great companion with dishes like trout, oysters, abelone
or black mussel soup. Or of course on its own.
