Deetlefs Sauvignon Blanc 2002

Innovative winemaking resulted in a wine with a soft green / yellow appearance and ripe fruit flavours. Good weight on the middle palate is complimented by gooseberry flavours, which is balanced by a crisp freshness and a long fine finish.
The Deetlefs trademark of mouth feel and elegance is very distinct in this ripe-style Sauvignon Blanc.
