Avontuur Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Tasting Notes
Analysis & Info

The nose is forthcoming with lashings of tropical fruit and grenadilla and intriguing citrus aroma’s in the background. Zesty entry with layered flavours enticing the palate and supporting the aroma. We love the guava, lime and minerality, which makes it such a good match for fresh seafood.
