Spier Vintage Selection Sauvignon Blanc/Chardonnay/Viognier 2005

Veritas 2006 - Bronze
The wine is bright straw in colour, rich and abundantly fruity. The attractive leesy character contributes to the body and ripe apricot flavours from the Viognier linger on the lively aftertaste. A harmonious wine with the acidity and wood in beautiful balance.

Serve with veal and poultry dishes.
