White Concepts Sauvignon Blanc
This could pass as a good Loire Sauvignon, except for the "sunny" acidity that betrays its Israeli origin. Nicely avoids excess of tropical fruit, with citrus (grapefruit) lined with saline minerality. A pure, unpacked style, this is one of Israel's best Sauvignons, yet pales in comparison to Tzora's white Shoresh.
