Diemersdal Matys Sauvignon Blanc 2014

This is a refreshing, easy-drinking, classic Sauvignon Blanc. Tropical fruit and citrus flavours on the nose with fresh acidity and a lingering minerality on the palate. The distinctive aromas support a wonderfully balanced palate, presenting purity of ripe fruit, coupled with a lingering harmonious finish.

Served well chilled on any occasion.
