Light straw color with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit adding a touch of floral spice notes, 34% aged sur lie for 5 months in neutral oak, rest in stainless. On the palate flavors of pineapple, peach and grapefruit with citrus and honeysuckle notes, generous acidity, great mouthfeel with long finish ending with a salty mineral spice character. Nice wine!

Pale lemon with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit with herb and grassy notes. On the palate flavors of sour green apple and lemon citrus fruit and some grassy tones with lively acidity. Medium finish ending with herbal, grassy and mineral notes.

Excellent Sauvignon Blanc! Pears and peaches with a hint of lemon. While waiting for my paella to cook I’m having some hard, aged goat cheese, cheddar with mustard and ale cheese (would go great with a nice cold beer) and some garlic herb olive oil almonds. Yum yum!!

Sweeter than one might expect,this SB delivers the food friendly citric acidity needed for a great food wine.

Light straw color in the glass. Citrus aromas on the nose. Not high in acidity. Medium body on the palette with a minimum finish. Good wine.
