Details
With this classic looking bottle, you would expect nothing more than a classic wine from an era where you wouldn’t see an iPhone in sight at a restaurant and the only accompaniment was good company or maybe a broadsheet newspaper with quality content. Citrus notes dominate this Sauvignon Blanc with a clean edge and refreshing finish, no thrills, just good honest wine.
Origin: Likely France, but unconfirmed. Possibly a wild grape variety that was indigenous to multiple areas in slightly different forms. Mainly Grown In: France, New Zealand, Italy, Chile, USA, South Africa Key Facts: If you’re a fan of a lime twist in your drinks, the smell of fresh cut grass in the morning, and have been told you are intense or that "you sure stand out in a crowd", well, you’ve met your match. Sauvignon Blanc is an all-dials-at-max kind of grape, which means it's going to fist pump your senses with its intense (and sometimes pungent) aromas, mouth-watering freshness and a cleansing herbaceous character. As one of the most planted white grapes in the world, it’s no wonder it has claimed hearts in various styles; It can be lean and zesty when it’s from cooler climates and fuller and more tropical when grown in warmer ones. Fun Fact: In French, Sauvignon means "wild". Some say this reflects the wild nature of the Sauvignon blanc grape vine, which is quite vigorous and can grow out of control if not monitored by vineyard workers.

Pairing guide
We’ve said it before and we’ll doubtlessly say it again - when it comes to food-friendly white wines, Sauvignon Blanc consistently wears the crown. This gorgeously bright and refreshing release is a stunning and versatile bottle. We loved it with courgette and ricotta tagliatelle, but most green vegetable dishes will work brilliantly here. Chicken salads, Thai curries, satay sauces, delicate white fish, prawns, scallops and other seafood, and spicy rice and noodle dishes are also never a bad idea with this one.
