This is a classic Loire Sauvignon Blanc. Fragrant and savory aromas of bosc pear, green apple, tomato leaf and dried field grass open on the nose tickled by lilac on the underbelly. Rich fruit rests on a bed of hay and white blossom leading to a lemon-zested finish. Delightfully low in alcohol at 11.5%, you can relax restraint and enjoy another glass.
Product Description:
When it comes to finding wines like Sancerre, but not at the Sancerre price, Loire Valley Sauvignon Blancs are the way to go. These crisp and mineral whites are extremely approachable in both price and style.
The AOC of Touraine hugs the Loire River as it winds itself through the valley heading east to the Atlantic. Soils here are diverse - everything from flint to clay to limestone - and help provide the perfect conditions for growing the predominant white varietal of the area: Sauvignon Blanc.
