Description
Zesty and fresh, flowed by a fusion of figs and passion fruit aromas. The palate entrance is crisp, clean and concentrated. The Sauvignon Blanc has great balance between fruit expression, lovely depth of character, zesty acidity with a fullness of palate to cut through the crisp acidity. A beautiful example of a Sauvignin Blanc from the cool climate region in South Africa.
