This wine is not available in South Africa
Beautifully clear with a distinct green tinge. Tempting varietal aromas of green figs and tinned peas on the nose lead to tangy, well-balanced palate, where new flavours like green peppers and fig leaves, also develops. The wine has a lovely, lingering finish.

Serve chilled, as a cooll aperitif, or with seafood and poultry.
