From the box:

“A crowd pleaser, this easy drinking Sauvignon Blanc displays appealing citrus and tropical fruit aromas that lead to a fresh, invigorating palate of pineapple, lemon-lime, mango and green fig. Backed by a solid acidity, herbal undertones shine through on the mineral-tinged finish and luscious tropical fruit.

13% Alcohol”

Lots of tropical fruit, some melon and grassiness plus a little mint make for an enticing and pretty classic Sauvignon Blanc aroma on the 2018 Indaba Sauvignon Blanc. Tasting reveals a solid, flavorful, fruity wine with great depth of flavor – definitely not what you would expect at such a low price. With great crisp acidity and good balance, this is delicious, crowd-pleasing stuff with enough complexity to keep it interesting. Absolutely delicious tropical fruit and citrus flavors lead into the long, lasting finish that also features touches of minerality. This is a really well done wine and at the equivalent of around $4 a bottle also a crazy good deal. This box is gold!
