About this product
Iona's benchmark cool-climate Elgin Sauvignon Blanc: restrained, mineral, and precise rather than the tropical exuberance of warmer South African examples. Grapefruit, nettle, white currant, and flinty mineral precision — among South Africa's most food-friendly and elegant Sauvignons.
