Wine Description

The 100% Sauvignon Blanc presents brilliant hues of pale yellow and green. Fresh aromas of grapefruit, kiwi, and fennel are intertwined with a subtle vanillin thread, indicative of the element of new French oak. On the palate, yellow grapefruit and lime zest flavours follow, along with the essence of ripe pear. The wine is medium-bodied with a dense middle palate, offering a round, rich mouth feel due to toasted oak qualities and the subtle creaminess of sur-lies maturation. The style is described as crisp yet rich, displaying a sense of grapefruity freshness on the finish.

Food Pairing

Suggested pairings include dishes that complement the wine's crispness and rich flavour profile, such as shellfish, vegetarian dishes, and goat cheese. It is an excellent match for preparations like oysters on the half shell, grilled fish or shrimp, and cured salmon.
