Deetlefs Familie Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2007

Colour: Intense yellow-green appearance reflects the grape integrity.
Nose: Very subtle honey-lime-spicy aromas linger in combination with the wood.
Palate: Explosive, but elegant fruit opens up in bold expression of fresh ripe peach that is well rounded with lanolin and soft wood flavours that keep opening up. Layers of freshness! The palate confirms all that is picked up on the colour and nose.

The Ultimate food wine. Wine should be decanted before the meal. Butternut soup, fillet with a creamy sauce, Boursin & Parmesan. Serving temperature: 10-14ÂșC
