Cape Atlantic Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Pale straw colour with lime tinges, this crisp dry wine meets you with hints of tropical fruit flavours over layers of freshly cut grass and fresh white asparagus. On the palate it is vibrant with well balanced fruit flavours and a rounded yet zesty acidity.

This light to medium bodied wine would welcome any occasion and will be a great companion to seafood dishes, poultry or any lunchtime get-togethers.
