Tasting Notes

Appearance

A healthy, vibrant lemon color shines brightly, hinting at the wine's freshness and vitality.

Nose

The aromatic profile is rich and beautifully expresses the hallmark characteristics of Sauvignon Blanc. Citrusy notes of lemon, lime, and grapefruit are complemented by tomato leaf, passion fruit, and pineapple, showcasing the grape variety's distinctiveness. A subtle minerality reflects the influence of the terroir, while hints of vanilla and coconut from barrel aging harmonize seamlessly, delivering remarkable finesse.

Palate

This dry wine features a striking acidity that leaves a lasting impression. With moderate alcohol and a richly layered flavor profile, the wine benefits from bâtonnage, adding complexity and a creamy, smooth texture. It boasts a full body with a long, satisfying finish, further enhancing its appeal.

Food Pairing

An excellent match for a variety of dishes, this wine pairs perfectly with creamy and flavorful options such as clam chowder, marinated octopus or tender squid, mushroom cream pasta, butter-seared salmon, and smoked salmon. Its versatility makes it a delightful companion for richly textured dishes.
