Bianco di Stellenbosch 2012

Pale, straw-yellow in colour with a delicate floral nose. Elegant flavours of pear, green melon and pineapple combine with fresh, crisp acidity and a well structured mid-palate to make this an exceptional example of Pinot Grigio.

A perfect wine for aperitivo and seafood.
