Kloovenburg Sauvignon Blanc 2005

With a green tint at the edges, the brilliant colour of this Sauvignon Blanc prepares for definite green notes surrounding a subtle tropical bouquet. The intriguing nose follows through offering hints of asparagus and cut grass on the aftertaste. A crisp and fresh
characteristic style of Sauvignon Blanc.
