Wine Review: This almost clear colored Sauvignon Blanc was well received by the tasting panel. It opens with a tropical gooseberry bouquet with hints of grass. On the palate, it is light bodied, balanced, and clean. The flavor profile is a mild grapefruit with a touch of minerality and tangerine. The finish is dry and refreshing. The panel suggested pairing this with broiled scallops in a lemon butter sauce or grilled swordfish with a mango salsa. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: This fresh and delicate wine with pale yellow-green hues is a product of the red clayish soils and the Pacific Ocean. It's full of citric and fruity aromas of white peaches, green apples, grapefruit and notes of white flowers. In the mouth, it is crisp and balanced with a pleasant minerality. Enjoy it with seafood or chicken in yogurt and citric sauces. As an aperitif, pair it with nuts, cheeses, and vegetables.
