WINE DESCRIPTION

Avalon Sauvignon Blanc is a fresh, unoaked expression of Sauvignon Blanc produced from grapes sourced from all over the state of California. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and cool fermentation to preserve the wine's freshness. The wine is bottled shortly after completing the alcoholic fermentation to retain the bright tropical fruit flavors without seeking to impart notes of vanilla or sweet spice from oak maturation. This zesty, refreshing, dry wine is best served chilled with delicate fish dishes, or enjoyed on its own.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Avalon Sauvignon Blanc exhibits a pale straw color with hints of green, indicating its youthful nature.On the nose, this wine is immediately expressive and open, showing tropical fruits such as pineapple, passion fruit, and guava. These aromas are complemented by marked herbaceous notes and a delicate floral hint. When it comes to taste, this Sauvignon Blanc showcases a bright acidity that enlivens the palate. The tropical fruit flavors detected on the nose carry through to the palate, marking the moderately long finish.
