Spier Discover Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Green in colour with a yellow hue, the wine shows ripe tropical fruit aromas with subtle hints of green pepper and grass. A crisp, well balanced, well structured palate of green and yellow apples delivers a lingering aftertaste.

Serve with homemade pasta with vine-ripened tomato, Danish feta and olive oil sauce.
