Spier Bouquet Blanc 2002

Delicate floral tones on the nose combine with fruit salad aromas and hints of honey and muscat. Some of these flavours are also present on the semi-sweet palate where the natural sugar is well balanced by good acidity. The wine has a bracing, fresh finish. Serve with curries, Thai food and blue cheese.
