Brand Description
"Wine tasting is one of my passions. Wine is culture. Wine is community. Wine is lifestyle. Wine is emotion." Mary J. Blige has always been particularly fond of white wines that demonstrate freshness, minerality, and purity. Pinot Grigio is undoubtedly among her favorite varieties. After learning that the best Pinot Grigio came from Friuli Venezia Giulia she was introduced to Marco Fantinel, owner of one of the leading wineries of this area. After walking though the vineyards and tasting with the Fantinel family, she felt extremely connected to the place, and more importantly, the people. The experience inspired her to create her own wines in partnership with Fantinel. WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR THE NAME? The name SUN GODDESS evokes powerful childhood memories that I carry with me today. I've always oved the sun, and as a child I always tried to capture the sun's warmth and energy. It was magical to me, and it's with that spirit, that my sister began calling me "Sun Goddess". MJBNOTES OF
SCENT & FLAVOR

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
