With each sip, one can truly appreciate the meticulous care that has been put into harvesting and blending these grapes. This Sauvignon Blanc is indeed a tasting experience not to be missed.

Tasting Notes

Yellow peach, melon, guava and crisp Fuji apple are accented with hints of tropical mango and pineapple. Lime, Minneola tangelo and orange blossom lend citrus notes. Accents of dry summer grass, vanilla-toned panna cotta and toasted crème brûlée create complexity. An underlying minerality adds further sophistication.
