Expect a bright, pale straw color with green tints. The nose bursts with complex, vibrant aromas. Prominent notes of green fig, kiwi fruit, and cut grass lead the way. Subtler hints of grapefruit and lime zest provide lift. The palate is dry, crisp, and beautifully structured. Intense fruit flavors match the refreshing, zesty acidity. A long, clean, mineral-driven finish defines the wine. Buitenverwachting Sauvignon Blanc pairs excellently with fresh seafood, asparagus, and goats’ cheese.
