Doolhof Cape Loerie 2007

The nose is dominated by an abundance of green pepper and gooseberry notes. The palate is generously flavourful with a forthcoming tropical character and a lip smacking lime finish.

This wine is an ideal aperitif and a perfect picnic partner. Try serving it with Thai Salmon fish cakes or asparagus and pecorino pasta salad.
