Raoul's Jackals River White 2013

Litchi, lime, pear and peach aromas on the nose with a fresh and vibrant palate. Fine acid balance resulting in a clean, crisp finish.

Goes well with seafood, salad and light lunches. Try beetroot and goat's cheese salad or even grilled white fish with lemon and artichoke. Another great combination to enhance the clean, green aromas of this white blend is crayfish.
