Elgin Valley Yellow Lorry Sauvignon Blanc 2010

The Yellow Lorry Sauvignon Blanc is an easy drinking wine with a cool climate character which is typically Elgin. It has a very good structure, complexity and balance. There is an abundance of fruit with lemons and apples on the nose, a slightly sweeter taste and a good acidity for a lingering finish.

Very drinkable on it's own or with light meat dishes. An excellent partner for seafood dishes.
