Waterford Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2008

The Waterford label was launched in 1998 with a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Sauvignon Blanc. The Chardonnay was added a year later. In 2004 the vineyards and property was registered as an estate and the labels were changed to Waterford Estate.

Clear and bright, excellent colour for Sauvignon Blanc - juicy quince and gooseberry aromas. Steely minerality up front giving way to a creamy, yeasty mouth-feel. Long finish, a great food wine.

Serve with grilled yellowtail and roast vegetable, feta and couscous salad.
