Darling Cellars Premium Sauvignon Blanc 2013

This wine displays passion fruit, green figs and flinty aromas on the nose. The palate shows mineral complexity with a well-rounded balance and a persistent aftertaste.

85% Sauvignon Blanc, 15% Semillon

Seafood dishes, creamy chicken dish or a garden salad in early summer - the perfect accompaniment!

Darling Cellars Premium comes from specific vineyards which are selected for their uniqueness in prominent terroir flavours. These vineyards are planted in the best terroir for the specific varietal. Vineyards are carefully monitored by the winemaker who ultimately decides when the grapes will be harvested. These grapes are handled separately in the cellar to preserve their natural quality and uniqueness.

Darling Cellars Premium is a dedicated concept from site selection, through to the final drop in the glass at the end of a bottle.
