Tokara Elgin Sauvignon Blanc 2008

This wine has a brilliant appearance with an intense pale straw colour with green flecks on the rim. The wine has intense pungent aromas of nettles, quince, cape gooseberries and ripe guavas. The palate is full and rich with a creamy mid-palate and a long intense crisp finish.

This wine is to be savoured with delicate foods such as tuna cerviche, black salmon with a dill dressing or seared tuna.
