Wine style
Elegant and Fruity
Grape blend
100% Sauvignon
Weather
Winter and spring were very mild, but the summer of 2014 did not live up to our expectations: it rained heavily in July, and August was much cooler than usual. However, starting in September, a miraculous Indian summer with high temperatures, was very favourable to ripening.
Tasting Comment
Appearance
Brilliant very pale yellow colour.
Nose
Elegant, slightly oaky nose with a wide range of aromas, including hints of citrus and some smoky overtones.
Mouth
Great balance and aromatic complexity with a long fresh aftertaste of citrus (orange peel, lemon) and flowers (broom). This delicate, elegant wine is a treat with fish, seafood, and salads.
