A highly aromatic Sauvignon Blanc. The upfront bouquet has a wealth of green figs, green peppers, nettles and herbs. The palate is dry and shows lively attack with the assertive acid neatly balanced by masses of fruit. Long, penetrating finish.

Seafood casserole, mussels, grilled chicken kebabs, Tagliatelli with creamy mushroom sauce or asparagus quiche.
