Two Oceans 2010 Sauvignon Blanc
Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc
Country: South Africa
Producer: Two Oceans
Alcohol : 11.71 % vol
Appellation : Coastal
Cost: $9.95
Winemaker’s Notes:
Colour: Brilliant light green tint
Bouquet: Upfront tropical fruit flavours, gooseberries followed with a hint of green fig
Taste: An elegant, crisp wine displaying ripe gooseberry flavours on the fore palate backed by tropical fruit and a hint of grassiness that lingers long on the aftertaste.
My Review:
This wine boasts an intense nose exuding floral, tropical fruits and vegetal aromas; is a medium-bodied, elegantly crisp wine with lively acidity which reveals a lingering finish
Pairing:
Two Oceans 2010 Sauvignon Blanc lives in the best of both worlds, it can accompany shellfish and it also fits well with light meats such as pork, lamb and veal; it also matches well with salads, light cheeses, or as a summer patio wine.
