Mischa Wine Information
Eventide Sauvignon Blanc 2009
Winemaker's comments
Colour: Pale straw but crystal clear and fresh looking.
Nose: Behind the initial grassiness of the nose is loads of tropical fruit. Pineapple, peach, melon, gooseberry and a hint of nettles.
Palate: Some lime,kiwi and gooseberry on the palate of this lively wine. Good acidity leaving a crisp clean finish and some rhubarb flavour.
Comments: Tasted at the beginning of June 2009 Unmistakably Sauvignon Blanc with classic flavours and a wine to drink over the next 12 to 18 months.
Food Recommendations:
Drink with Haddock Pie or a braaied Snoek.
