Rattlesnake Sauvignon Blanc - Steenberg

Steenberg's elegant Rattlesnake Sauvignon Blanc shimmers into the glass with a bright light yellow color. This single varietal South African wine shows wonderfully expressive notes of guava, physalis, mango and Gallia melon in the glass. This is joined by hints of gingerbread spice, forest floor and vanilla.

This South African wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 3.8 grams of residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine, this South African naturally enraptures with the finest balance despite all its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily require sugar. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced white wine is wonderfully light. Due to its concise fruit acidity, the Rattlesnake Sauvignon Blanc presents itself wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate. In the finish, this white wine from the wine-growing region of the Western Cape finally inspires with good length. Once again, hints of Gallia melon and plum show through.
