Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc Wine Details
Price: $24.00 per bottle

Description: The Sauvignon Blanc grape is a very unique varietal, and the Musque clone of Sauvignon Blanc is especially unique be-cause it is not as widely cultivated. Instead of assertive grassy and herbaceous aromas and flavors, the Musque clone has very rich tropical and citrus characters that dominate. The subtle “green” characters are ever present, but the intensity of fruit really does take over and do all the talking. Using exclusively stainless steel during production, this “no oak” Style maintains the fruit forward, a style very much akin to Sancerre from the Loire in France or Marlborough in New Zealand. Crisp acidity with just a hint of residual sugar makes for a very balanced wine.
