Savanha Sauvignon Blanc 2003

Veritas 2003 - Double Gold
The wine is brilliantly clear with a green tint. The nose is herbaceous with elegant aromas of tropical fruit and melon, leading to fresh flavours of tropical fruit salad, green figs and green peppers that linger beautifully on the aftertaste.
