Sauvignon Blanc
In the Cape, diversity of soils is matched by diversity of climate and geography, creating endless winemaking possibilities. This is clearly demonstrated in the flavour profiles which make a Sauvignon Blanc from the one side of the valley so different to one from the other. These elegant Sauvignons are the perfect match for this spicy dish.
