| Price: R66.50 |
Average Score: |

| Editors Notes |
| This unwooded wine shows an abundance of passion fruit, gooseberry, grapefruit and lime aromas that carry through to the palate. The mouth feel is crisp, yet rich and fruity. The well-balanced acid and lingering aftertaste will make you come back for more. |
