Morgenhof Estate Sauvignon Blanc/Chenin Blanc 2003

This wine has a vibrant greenish colour. The nose shows lots of up-front fruit flavour, fresh cut grass and guavas. The palate is smooth round with a slight touch of crispness. The Sauvignon Blanc flavour will become more dominant on this wine as the wine bottle matures. This wine had no wood-maturation.

It should be enjoyed with light meat salads, green salads, grilled fish dishes, light soups and as a pre-dinner drink.
