Wine Review: This almost clear colored Sauvignon Blanc opens with a wet hay and mild grapefruit bouquet with a hint of lemon. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, balanced, crisp and citrusy. The flavor profile is a mild grapefruit with hints of minerality and lemon. The finish is dry and fresh. The panel recommended this wine with creamy cheeses like Brie or St. Andre. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: A very pale yellow colored Sauvignon Blanc, with subtle greenish tones. The aromas are of clean and delicate tropical fruits, citric and lemon blossoms. The palate is complex, intense and persistent. Along with the fruits and flowers, mineral notes are evident. The acidity balances the soft sweetness of the fruity flavors, giving to the wine structure, balance and storage potential. This Sauvignon Blanc is ideally served with oily fishes such as salmon or bluefish, oysters, sushi, and sharp cheese
