Tasting Notes:
Premius Sauvignon is a beautiful pale yellow colour, and offers up pink grapefruit and passion fruit aromas. It is vibrant and fruity in the attack, marked by citrus notes that continue through to the fresh, gourmet finish.

(Recommended by James Davis, Master of Wine):
Delicious and refreshing with crunchy, bright grapefruit and lime notes, along with a little flinty character. A great thirst quencher!

Pairing:
Premius Sauvignon would make a perfect aperitif with tapas or would go excellently with seafood, fish or white meat. Serve chilled.
