Simonsvlei Sauvignon Blanc 2003

A fresh, racy and invigoratingly dry white wine, with no wood maturation. Grassy/asparagus flavours, with fruity flavours coming through on the aftertaste. Great with any seafood of your choice, but a must with oysters! And barbequed fish – especially geelstert or a red roman.
