Welmoed Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Fresh, easy-drinking wine, pale straw colour. A hint of sweetness that then cascades into gooseberries and lemongrass on nose. Well balanced palate with delicious passion fruit and other tropical aromas. Expressive varietal characters with a satisfying finish makes this a wine good value for money.

Serve with tuna sashimi, Kingklip and a variety of other seafood.
