Expect complex notes of blackcurrant leaf, white stone fruits, and salinity. The palate is rich and textured due to the wild fermentation process. It features a bright, zesty acidity and intense minerality. Subtle hints of oak integrate beautifully with the fruit. This rich Sauvignon Blanc pairs well with complex seafood dishes. It is excellent with lime, chili, and coriander flavors. Try it alongside rich salmon or Thai fish cakes. It is also wonderful with goat’s milk cheese.
