Michelangelo International Wine Awards 2003 - Silver
Elegant, lively and finely balanced, Rietvallei Sauvignon Blanc 2003 it tightly wound around a core of crisp, flinty and mineral notes. Its vibrancy is amplified with allusions to ripe green figs and succulent grapefruit. The sleek mouth-feel culminates in an elegant, crisp and decidedly dry finish. This is a wine to sip, but also one that can cope with robust flavours. Rietvallei Sauvignon Blanc is a wine to savour with just harvested West Coast oysters, spiked with lemon and chilli. A wine that partners a variety of poultry.
