SAUVIGNON BLANC
Crisp and flavorful, this popular grape varietal has distinctive and immediately recognizable aroma and flavor characteristics. The famous grassy, herbaceous bouquet and flinty aftertaste are here, with the generous acidity that is typical of the grape. Steely, grassy, and defiantly dry, nothing can complement a meal better than Sauvignon Blanc, a unique wine which offers a definitive counterpoint to the ubiquitous Chardonnay.
