Fresh, crisp and delicious!.... Bring on the Sun.

Saam Mountain Sauvignon Blanc 2008                        
A tropical nose with hints of bell pepper. The abundance of flavours carries through on the well-structured, mouthfilling palate and stays there to create a long & rich after-taste. Typical crisp acidity.
