Onyx Sauvignon Blanc 2004

International Wine Challenge 2005 - Seal of Approval
Michelangelo International Wine Awards 2005 - Silver Medal
Veritas 2004 - Bronze
An abundance of tropical flavours of passion fruit, guava and banana, combined with the typical, fresh, herbaceous aromas of nettles. In the mouth, the fullness of the wine is complemented by ripe fruit flavours with a well-rounded balance and a long, lingering aftertaste of green fig and sweet pepper.

This wine will be an excellent accompaniment to most sea food dishes as well as chicken and lamb.
