Lomond Pincushion Sauvignon Blanc 2006

Bouquet and taste:Ripe green fig, gooseberry with melon, pineapple and kiwi present. Austerely rich and serious, a great balance is achieved through the integration of fruit and natural acidity.

Green salads and seafood would be just great! The wine with its great acidity, will complement most white meat dishes.
