A blend of 75% sauvignon blanc and 25% semillon, this wine is golden yellow in coloured with medium intensity. Citrus, apple and a slight nuttiness on the nose. The balance is crisp and refreshing. Clean and tangy on the palate with citrus flavours – lemon and grapefruit rind. A medium-long finish. This is a white French Bordeaux style wine so it is a very versatile food wine. Try it with any seafood.
