Did you catch my latest blog post on my Uruguay 🇺🇾 wine & food night?
Well we had an absolute blast trying through the Uruguayan wines in this month’s #thetcwineclub box thanks to @the_wine_gallery 🥂
It was suggested we match this @pizzornowines ‘Don Prospero’ 2017 Sauvignon Blanc with a goats cheese salad and by gawd it was a delicious match! It also went well with my homemade mayo we had with the empanadas 🤤
Pizzorno Family Estates is a 4th generation family-owned winery in Uruguay. The 21 hectares of vines includes plantings of Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Malbec, Arinarnoa, Marselan, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Muscat of Hamburg.
Pizzorno are very focused on sustainability and the conservation of the environment. You can read more about their practices via the Pizzorno website.
Mr Spittoon and I both loooooved this Sauvignon Blanc. It’s one I will most definitely hunt out again. Here’s my tasting note:
On the eye it’s a very pale, nearly water white colour in the glass. Tropical fruits, soft citrus, snowsnap peas and a hint of minerality comes through on the nose. While in the mouth it’s acidic up front, with some fruit sweetness across the tongue and a nice dry finish. Smooth, fruity, and refreshingly acidic. YUM!

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!
