Wine Review: This fresh and tasty South African Sauvignon Blanc is a very pale straw color and opens with a bouquet of yellow grapefruit, herbs and wet slate. It is light plus bodied with nicely balanced acidity and flavors of lime, green pepper and honeydew mellow with hints of integrated minerality. In the coming warm weather months this crisp wine will go great with some fried oysters. - Mark

Winemaker Notes: DMZ is DeMorgenzon's value label, where the objective is to produce classic, elegant, well-balanced wines which over-deliver in terms of quality for price. Upfront aromatics of passion fruit and citrus greet the nose following through to a rich palate that yields ripe fruit flavors with a nettle edge. A brisk acidity and stony minerality give natural freshness and length.
