Morgenhof Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2003

The wine has a vibrant green colour. The first impression on the nose is flinty and cut grass. These flavours follow through on the palate where they are shared with flavour of gooseberries, figs and asparagus. The palate is full-bodied with a crisp natural acidity.

This wine should be enjoyed with light meat salads, creamy soups, grilled chicken dishes, asparagus, fish in any form or as a pre-dinner drink.
