A bright, fresh Sauvignon from the south of France.
A wonderful and innovative blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Vermentino from Southern France. A quite deliciously refreshing change from straight Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon V blends aromatic Sauvignon with aromatic Vermentino and gives a tangy, more complete flavour. The luscious exotic fruit aromas from the Vermentino are balanced by the clean, zingy fruit of Sauvignon, resulting in a wonderfully aromatic smooth dry white.
Both the Sauvignon and the Vermentino are planted on plots with ideal drainage conditions, on a mixture of silt, sand and alluvial deposit. The Sauvignon was harvested in late August, and the Vermentino from mid September.
Cold maceration on skins, followed by pressing and alcoholic fermentation on fine lees at a temperature of 16-18°C.
Best served chilled and ideal as an aperetif, but also complements seafood such as mussels, poultry and white meat dishes. The exotic flavours also complement Chinese and other oriental dishes.
