On the nose, expect intense aromas of tropical fruits such as passionfruit, pineapple, and guava. These fruity notes are complemented by hints of freshly cut grass and a touch of herbaceousness, adding complexity to the bouquet.
The tropical fruit flavors continue to shine, accompanied by citrus undertones, particularly grapefruit and lime. There is a pleasant minerality that adds depth to the wine, leading to a clean and lingering finish.
This Sauvignon Blanc is best enjoyed chilled and pairs well with a variety of dishes. Its vibrant acidity makes it a great match for seafood, especially grilled prawns or fresh oysters. It also complements salads, goat cheese, and light vegetarian dishes.
