Avontuur Sarabande Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2014

Full-bodied with interesting minerality from the maritime influence of the terroir, and a fresh lime zestiness which bodes well for longevity. Complexity is added due to the lees contact and the subtle wood treatment. Aroma: Upfront tropical fruit with ripe peaches and hints of lime.

Perfect with fresh shellfish like oysters or mussels, also grilled fish and chicken.
