Tier 3 - Hill Station Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2006

This sophisticated wine exhibits pure gooseberry fruit for which Cape Sauvignon Blanc is renowned, but with a sleek, chalky quality.

Underpinned with cool acidity, this wine finishes dry with long penetrating flavours. Serve with fresh seafood and simply grilled fish dishes.
