This classic Sauvignon Blanc has expressive aromas of tropical fruit, white pear and citrus. These flavours continue on the palate, the hallmark of good wine. The wine has elegance and finess and the finish is clean and crisp.

Best served chilled at 6° to 8°C with or without food. Very complimenting to pasta and chicken dishes.
