Deetlefs Sauvignon Blanc 2005

Michelangelo Awards 2005 - Silver Medal
Innovative winemaking resulted in a wine with a soft green-yellow appearance and ripe fruit flavours. Good weight on the middle palate is complimented by ripe Litchie and Granadilla flavours, which is balanced by a crisp freshness and a long fine finish. The Deetlefs Trademark of mouth feel and elegance is very distinct in this ripe style Sauvignon Blanc.
