Name: Thelema Sutherland Sauvignon Blanc 2019

SKU: 46364

Prominent aromas of fresh citrus and passion fruit. These follow through on the palate with a lovely long mineral finish. This wine is fragrant and fruity with a dry, zesty finish.

An excellent aperitif, and great with delicately flavoured foods.
