Tasting Notes
Our 2023 Sauvignon Blanc opens with a bouquet of elderflowers, yellow peach, and lemon zest. It leads to a crisp and refreshing palate, with a balanced finish of tropical fruit and a hint of grapefruit juice. This wine can be a fantastic match with a goat cheese salad or fresh oysters!
