Stellenbosch Vineyards Heyden's White 2015

This unique blend of Sauvignon blanc, Viognier, Vedelho and Gewürtztraminer creates a fusion of flavours, which include fragrances of lemongrass and gooseberries with floral and citrus blossoms. The refined palate is creamy with a fresh and zesty acidity. Subtle oaking and extended yeast contact adds appealing savouriness and complexity to this wine.

This wine can be enjoyed on its own and will pair well with creamy chicken dishes, fresh fish dishes or light salads. Serve at a cool room temperature. Suitable for vegetarians but not for vegans.
