NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Yealands S1 Single Block Sauvignon Blanc is an exceptional wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety.This wine is produced by Yealands Estate, a renowned winery known for their commitment to sustainable practices.
On the nose, this Sauvignon Blanc offers vibrant aromas of tropical fruits such as passionfruit, pineapple, and guava. These fruity notes are complemented by hints of citrus, particularly grapefruit, which adds a refreshing zing to the overall aroma profile.
The palate of Yealands S1 Single Block Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and lively, with a perfect balance of acidity. The tropical fruit flavors continue to dominate, with the addition of juicy peach and a touch of herbaceousness. The wine has a medium body and a long, satisfying finish.
This wine 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 vegetarian dishes, such as grilled asparagus or goat cheese salads.
