Cape Point Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 2007

ON ALLOCATION ONLY
The wine shows a complex array of tropical fruit, nettle and subtle herbaceous tones all held together by an incredible mineral backbone. The palate is rich and full made in a style to be a wonderful food companion.

This Sauvignon Blanc is drinking beautifully at present, but try to exercise patience as it will only improve over the next 2-3 years.
