The River Garden Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Lovely tropical fruit flavours of melon, pears and litchi supported by fresh crispness. A delightful and balanced everyday drinking wine.

It is a refreshingly versatile wine that will go with fresh green salads, gazpacho and seafood or to be enjoyed outdoors with your favourite picnic.Best served ice cold and would not mind a block of ice or two.
