This Sauvignon is tinted a very light gold, almost clear. The nose gives aromas more common to New World Sauvignon Blancs - grass, herbs, salinity. The grassiness is not, however, on par with, say, a New Zealand SB. It’s a little more restrained than that. On the palate, citrus minerality is the rule, with an extremely fresh acidity. The lemon-lime flavor comes back on the lengthy finish. Fish is a great pairing for this wine, something along the lines of a tuna salad or nicoise would be ideal.

A refreshing SB from Collio. Citrus and tropical (not as exotic as NZ SB) fruits, freshly cut grass, and light white pepper. Very sharp acidity that could use some food to tune down a bit. Saline finish.
