Savanha Sauvignon Blanc 2004

Beautifully clear with a distinct green tinge. Delicious varietal aromas of melon, gooseberry, unripe fig and some sweaty notes on the nose lead to tangy, well-balanced fruit on the rich palate. The wine has a lovely, lingering finish.

Serve chilled, as a delightful aperitif, or with grilled prawns drizzled with a light sauce.
