NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Leyda Lot 4 Sauvignon Blanc offers a symphony of freshness, starting with its pale lemon color and a bouquet that bursts with lime zest, green apple, and a touch of jalapeño. As it unfolds on the palate, layers of passion fruit, grapefruit, and fresh-cut grass are delicately balanced with a mineral backbone reminiscent of wet stone.This wine is laser-focused, showcasing a racy acidity that drives to a persistent, clean finish. Vibrant and refreshing, it’s a Sauvignon Blanc that eloquently speaks of its cool-climate origins, making it perfect for a summer sip or as an accompaniment to fresh seafood.
