Nederburg Sauvignon Blanc 2003

Cellarmaster Razvan Macici describes the wine as showing herbaceous varietal aromas and flavours of gooseberry, passion fruit and peach, ending in an elegantly dry finish. Its generous palate, he says, is refined by a well harmonised fruit/acid balance. He recommends serving with seafood, creamy fish, chicken or veal.

They came from the Darling Hills, Durbanville and from north-east facing hills in Stellenbosch and from the southern slopes below the Simonsberg Mountains, also in Stellenbosch.
