picture of

Silver Wine Winner @ International Wine Challange 2015. 100% Sauvignon. Lovely modern style with ripe vibrant fruit and flinty minerals, fresh and youthful. Lime sherbet finish.

In the summer this wine can also be drunk slightly chilled. Perfect with more delicate meat dishes such as veal and pork. Coq-au-Vin, Magret de Canard, game birds or other fine stews. Crazy idea ... But definitely try it with oysters: Interesting combination!
