Backsberg Sauvignon Blanc 2012

Bursting with aromas of gooseberry and passion fruit, this lively wine matches aromatic intensity with freshness and balance. Lime and nettle characters predominate the palate, cleverly matching fruit sweetness with natural acidity.

With a variety of foods, especially salads, cold meats, chicken and fish.
