Sauvignon Blanc: crisp and refreshing
A lean, crisp, white wine that's extremely flexible with food, and a great alternative to Chardonnay

Swirl and taste: Tart lemon, grapefruit, melon, and tropicals like passionfruit ― even gooseberry ― over a pleasant grassiness and herbal quality.

Pair with:

• Cheese (especially goat cheese)
• Green vegetables (asparagus, zucchini, fresh peas, artichokes)
• Oysters
• Delicate fish like sole
• Fresh herbs
• Mild viniagrettes
• Dishes with tangy dairy ingredients
• Herbal, briny sauces
• Pesto
