Vergelegen Nirvana White 2006

On the nose the wine shows wonderful spice and lime and lemon characters that evolve on the palate with exquisite power, finesse and balance. A wine with great maturation capability and over time will develop a waxy texture with a wonderful creamy citrus palate and lanolin profile.
