Bartinney Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Our Sauvignon Blanc is generous in style with an abundance of ripe granadilla, green fig and grapefruit aromas. The palate is rich and opulent, layered with ripe tropical fruit and underlining minerality, typical of the Banghoek Valley. The wine is gently structured with the acid providing balance and length.

Try pairing with roasted asparagus and Greek feta salad or Grilled Yellowtail served with parmesan mash potatoes.
