Haut Espoir Sauvignon Blanc 2006

The flavours and aromas are a delicate mixture of tropical fruit layers and hints of lime. Undertones of Marula fruit carry through to the finish which is smooth and elegant with a crisp acidity.

This Sauvignon Blanc is best enjoyed chilled as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to seafood dishes, fresh garden salads, asparagus and spiced Asian dishes.
