Groote Post Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Who says Sauvignon Blanc is all about acidity? Ideal growing conditions have resulted in a superbly balanced wine, displaying characteristic freshly-mown grass on the nose and rich, luscious white peach flavours on the palate. This vintage shows beautiful depth, length and intensity.
