Bon Courage Sauvignon Blanc 2002

This is a delicate, fruitful white wine. The aggressive acids add an upstading dimension and the style is crisp and dry with mouthwatering gooseberry and fruit salad flavours. These carry through well into the long, tangy finish. It is excellent with seafood, pasta, grilled chicked kebabs and fresh summer salads.
