Sauvignon Blanc 2018
R 100.00
Lemon-green in colour with a clean nose displaying aromas of green apple, Cape gooseberry, lemon rind and fresh thyme. The palate is light-bodied with a pronounced flavour intensity of fresh Granny Smith and lemongrass, underpinned by a lengthy finish.
The lively acidity of the wine makes it an ideal companion to pan-fried calamari tubes with lemon and herbs, a crab and artichoke salad, or an asparagus, lemon thyme and goats’ milk cheese tart.
Ready to enjoy now, but with an ageing potential of 3 to 4 years to allow for a richer wine with well-integrated acidity.
