Ernst Gouws & Co Sauvignon Blanc 2012

Grapes from the famous Stellenbosch wine region ensure a Sauvignon blanc leaning towards the tropical spectrum of flavors, elegance and grace on the palate.  The nose shines with a summery fragrance including blossoms and wild flowers. On the palate the wine shows enchanting notes of green fig, melon (cantaloupe) and ripe apple captured with a bracing, lingering vibrancy.

Served chilled, this wine is enjoyed on its own or with seafood, summer salads, cream-based pasta dishes or cheese.Serving Temperature: 8 - 10° Celsius
