Africa Five Sauvignon Blanc 2011

A vibrantly clear wine the colour of pale, freshly harvested straw with hues of lime zest. One's olfactory senses are enticed by the abundant aromas and one's palate is quenched with an array of ripe summer fruits – watermelon, mango, pineapple and passion fruit. This lingering medley of fruit, together with crisp Cape gooseberries, nettle and hints of green pepper lend to a well balanced wine of refreshing acidity and mouth filling viscosity.

Lively acid and fresh aromas makes this a perfect companion to salads and fish dishes.
