Deetlefs Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2014

This wine has a light green/lemon color. It is a very complex combination of flavors that include granadilla, litchi, pineapple, gooseberries and green pepper. The wine shows crisp balanced acidity. It has very good concentrated fruit aromas with lingering grapefruit after taste. A touch of minerality on the palate adds good complexity.

Goats cheese and rocket salad and Lemon butter sole.
