Description Dry white

Bright straw colour, good presentation. 
Bouquet of Sauvignon inhanced by the roundness of the Semillon.

On the palate : the richness and the softness of the Semillon harmonises with the rigour sometimes excessive of the Sauvignon. A feminine wine where the suppleness allows it to be consumed with dishes such as : fish, sea-food or poultry. It tastes really good with fried rice , even with fish and chips without the vinegar on the chips.
