Everything you want in a Sauv Blanc. Bright, lively and aromatic. Notes of guava, pineapple, lemon and fresh cut grass. Some minerality on the finish. And wow! Check out the price! Pair with seafood appies Tasted Nov 2017

A big, brazen white.…
Presentation: Distinct, busy, over-the-top, just like the name of the wine
Appearance: Pale lemon
Nose: Pronounced nose, with notes of tropical fruit (lychee, bananas), with an undercurrent of the classic asparagus smell
Taste: Dry to off-dry, full body, medium-to-high acidity, low tannins, with notes of asparagus, tropical fruit (pineapple, lychee, bananas), citrus rind, with some mineral and herbaceous notes
Finish: long on the tropical fruit
Overall impression: A big, brazen white, with a blend of tropical fruit and the characteristic asparagus. If you like New World wines, you should like this, especially if you like the sharp back-end of Sauvignon Blanc. The wine fits the label and name.
Value: 4/5

an interesting sauv blanc from south africa. Tropical fruits and peachy flavors on the palate, a hint of grassy note on the nose. For a suav blanc, it's a bit fruity and not acidic enough. But if you want to learn about sauv blanc, this is a good starting point and at a good price!

Nose: Lemon-limey Sprite-like aromas, honeydew melon, fresh cut grass
Palate: Mouthpickering citrus as mentioned above, flinty mineral notes, light bodied, refreshing
Perfect holiday wine to accompany some intro dishes like salads, tangy goat cheeses, simple no-meat creamy pasta dishes or even on its own as a palate cleanser in between dishes

Pale lemon colour with a watery rim. Passion fruit, ruby grapefruit, fresh fig and tangerine on the nose. A fruity Sauvignon blanc that is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Perfect to pair with seafood or to drink on its own.

Very pale straw in colour with aromas of lemon, pear and apple with flavours of ripe pear, red apple and peach. It is light bodied with medium-low acidity and has a short finish. This will pair with soft cheeses and green salads. Tasted on November 19, 2017.

Pale lemon-green colour. Aromas of golden apples, ripe pear, green beans and lots of floral notes. On the palate - pear, dried apricot, quite fruity. Guava and a touch of honeydew. Medium minus acidity, light body and finish. Light and refreshing. Pair with light seafood and salads.
