Rietvallei John B Sauvignon Blanc 2011

This Sauvignon Blanc expresses flavours of lemon zest, grapefruit and tropical fruits on the nose which follows through on the palate. The palate also reveals a hint of minerality and a well balancing acidity resulting in a zesty, long-lasting aftertaste. A fresh, fruity dry wine for everyday enjoyment.

A perfect partner for any seafood, salads and light meals. Ideal for outdoor picnics and no need for a corkscrew, it's screw-cap!Serve chilled (7 - 10°C).
