Rijk's Private Cellar Sauvignon Blanc 2007

This aromatic wine has complex aromas of pineapple, green fig and pomegranate on the nose. Asparagus aromas should come to the fore after some ageing. The palate is creamy and ends with a crisp acidity. Long lasting flavourful aftertaste.

    Bottling Date: December 2007

    Production: 1100 x 6
