Stellenbosch Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 2014

A rich, aromatic nose, complemented by lush, juicy fruit. The nose shows a cascade of gooseberries, asparagus and lemon grass. A well balanced wine with a full, rich palate and a lingering finish.

A versatile food wine to go with most poultry, fish and salads. Suitable for vegetarians but not for vegans.
