Tasting - Indwe



Indwe
Sauvignon Blanc
South Africa
2012
$7.95

Wine review: Grapes are meticulously sourced from the grape producers along the Coastal region of the Western Cape ensuring complexity and freshness in the wine. Indwe Sauvignon Blanc is full of layers, balance and persistence. The wine is imbued with tropical and citrus notes, with hints of melon and gooseberry flavors.

My review: Light, clear, and pale plum color. Strong green onion and grass aroma hits the nose with slight hint of citrus as well. Light body with medium hot and spicy component comes forward in the mid palate with the short finish. Light tannic and acid components were present, but not enough to overcome the hotness. It will go well with light to medium cheese or medium thick cream sauce pasta.
