Sensory Description:
In the glass, this Sauvignon Blanc shines pale straw with green glimmers. Aromas of tropical fruit mingle with elderflower, cassis, and a crisp mineral lift. The palate is vibrant and full-bodied, marked by ripe fruit intensity, sleek acidity, and a textured mouthfeel from lees aging. The finish is long, refreshing, and distinctly coastal in its saline edge.
