Wine Details
Price:
$14.00 per bottle
Description:
Our Sauvignon Blanc displays a brilliant straw yellow color. The nose is rich in stone fruit, white peaches, and citrus aromas. The palette is lively with flavors of lime, grapefruit, and plenty of lush peach. The finish is vibrant with lively acidy and driven by the continuation of its fruit character. This wine works well as a rejuvenating aperitif or a compliment to lighter fare such as prawns, oysters in the half shell, chicken piccatta, and Asian cuisine.

Varietal Definition
Sauvignon Blanc:
Sauvignon Blanc is widely grown in California — at over 15,000 acres, it’s now the third most planted variety — and often assumes the moniker ‘Fume Blanc’. This popular synonym, credited to Napa’s Robert Mondavi, derives from the grape’s historic home of Pouilly in France’s Upper Loire Valley, where Sauvignon Blanc is the dominant varietal and goes locally by the name of ‘Blanc Fumé’. When treated with respect and afforded suitable growing conditions, Sauvignon Blanc is one of the wine world’s darlings. Steely, racy acidity, green, gooseberry fruit, asparagus and a grassy, herbaceous character characterize dry wines made from this grape.
