Product Description
This 100% Sauvignon Blanc is produced in the Marlborough region. The nose is dominated by floral notes, ripe stone fruits and fresh zesty citrus. This follows through to the palate with an underlying textural backbone, driven by the time spent on lees, and a pure mineral concentration. A perfectly balanced and crunchy acidity gives the wine lift, presence and poise. Perfect by the glass or with light dishes such as fish and seafood. Serve well chilled.Brand Description

SCENT & FLAVOR
COLOR
Deep colour, almost opaque.
NOSE
Aroma of excellent complexity, with wild bush and spicy notes like curry, pepper and ginger, red berries and black fruits mixed with a light cacao touch, the result of a good maturation, along with a slightly stony finish.
PALATE
On the palate it has a powerful attack, with a lively acidity, firm and well present tannins, wild bush and red berry notes, with an extremely long finish and great concentration.
“Thanks to the characteristics and potential of the vineyards at Quinta do Seixo, it was possible to cut through the strong maturations of this year's harvest. As a result, we produced very balanced and robust wines, with aromatic notes typical of more mature years.” - Luís Sottomayor, head of Sogrape's winemaking
