This could easily be mistaken with a high quality Bordeaux Blanc. Lots of exotic fruits, pineapple, mango and papaya. Just the right amount of creaminess makes the wine tastes so balanced and delicious. Wow!

Always a great starter wine for the evening, no matter the pairing. Tropical fruits dominate. Bright and crisp, with a mild saline note on the finish. Just beautiful.

This is a nice Sauvignon Blanc with a really predominant peach character on both the nose and the palate.

Such a great Sauvignon Blanc. Incredible tropical fruit aromatics - melon, pineapple, guava, grapefruit. Typically, such expressive SBs can be cloying. This is light and crisp. I love this wine.
