Graham Beck Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Name: Graham Beck Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Brand: Graham Beck
SKU: 27407

An expression of tropical fruit on the nose - gooseberry and passion fruit, with notes of ripe figs, lemongrass and nettle. Great concentration of tropical fruit and spicy, herbaceous flavours on the palate. A crisp, lively acidity elegantly balanced with a dusty pebble finish.

Enjoy as an aperitif or with grilled, smoked and spicy fish and chicken dishes.
