Villiera Down to Earth White 2011

Brand: Villiera
SKU: 28162

After careful attention to blending these components we achieved the required result, with fresh gooseberries and passion fruit from the Sauvignon Blanc. The Semillon contributes the more herbaceous, grassy character as well as complexity to the palate.

The wine is balanced with good length, but above all it makes you reach for another glass.

In the production process we limited the use of additives and avoided all animal products resulting in a wine that is suitable for vegetarians.
