Sensory Description:

In the glass, this Sauvignon Blanc shimmers with a hint of straw yellow accented by vibrant green hues. The nose is intensely aromatic, bursting with ripe grapefruit and lemongrass layered over tropical nuances of nectarine and passionfruit. On the palate, it offers mouth-watering intensity—juicy, ripe fruit notes dance with lime zest, creating a lively and refreshing profile. A subtle touch of dry phenolics from partial skin fermentation adds structure and depth, lifting the texture and finish.
