Delaire Sauvignon Blanc 2003

4 star John Platter
Grapes from high altitude mountain vineyards characterize this wine's natural acidity and fruit. A multi layered complex Sauvignon Blanc. The apparent tropical fruit is well balanced by herbaceous and grassy notes. Picked at different ripeness levels to cover the complete flavour spectrum of Sauvignon blanc.
