Ernst Gouws & Co Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Grapes from Stellenbosch used to create a Sauvignon that leans more toward the tropical spectrum of flavours, elegance and grace. The nose shines with a summery fragrance including blossoms and wild flowers. On the palate the wine shows enchanting notes of green fig, melon, guava and ripe apple. Bracing, lingering vibrancy.

Served chilled. This wine can be enjoyed with summer salads, cream based pasta dishes or most complementary, on its own.
