Avontuur Vintners Blend 2008

Name: Avontuur Vintners Blend 2008
Brand: Avontuur Vintners
SKU: 19570

An antique rose/onion skin colour with a slight buttered toast and melon and pink grapefruit on the nose. Strawberry and summer melon flavours with a zesty citrus mouth-feel, ending in a soft and silky finish with a bit of Zing!

Perfect for summer drinking, even with crushed ice or sparkling mineral water. Great with Sushi, Sashimi and Smoked Trout Salad and a match made in heaven with Melon and Parma ham.
