This delightful Sauvignon Blanc is an easy sipper. The Doolhof Cape Series celebrates several of the unique animals and birds of Southern Africa.
The nose is dominated by an abundance of green pepper and gooseberry notes while the palate has a tropical character with a lime finish.

Serve as an ideal aperitif, as well as a perfect picnic partner. Excellent with Thai salmon fish cakes or asparagus and pecorino pasta salad.
