Backsberg John Martin 2008

Gooseberry, green fig and guava aromas with grassy undertones combined with elegance and freshness, adds to the intriguing qualities of this wine.

The length and complex aftertaste of the wine creates good memories and is a wonderful partner to cheese, fish and poultry. Also to be enjoyed by itself.
