Diemersdal Wild Horseshoe Sauvignon Blanc 2018 - SOLD OUT

The Wild Horse Shoe Sauvignon Blanc had a 96 hour skin contact which has resulted in concentrated passion fruit, apple and pear fruit aromas. On the palate there’s a lovely spicy, slightly grippy twist and that counters the richness of the French oak.

Full flavoured seafood dishes and creamy soup or blackened, spicy pan-fried fish.
