Dégustation
Very pale straw-yellow colour shot through with green highlights.
Grown on a clay-limestone terroir, Sauvignon Blanc reveals all of its intensity and power on the nose with citrus, exotic fruit (pineapple) and yellow peach aromas.
The intensity of the nose follows through to the round, generous palate, indicative of perfectly ripe grapes.
