Capelands White 2003

The wine is brilliantly clear and pale lime in colour with an attractive bouquet of fruit salad, cut grass, sweet melon and hints of apricot. These flavours follow through on the dry, medium-bodied palate and the wine is clean and fresh with well-balanced acidity.

Serve with light meals.
