Root:1
Sauvignon Blanc
The 2011 vintage had a very cool beginning with a colder than normal springtime, followed by a late-starting summer. The low temperatures in Casablanca produced smaller yields, about 20% less than a typical year and the cool weather allowed grapes to ripen gradually, giving freshness and elegance to the Sauvignon Blanc. The wine is also slightly lower in alcohol with very concentrated flavors of passion fruit, citrus and soft mineral notes.
Tasting Notes
Pale green in color, concentrated aromas with tropical fruit and citrus notes. Great acidity wth fresh lime and grapefruit balanced by soft minerality on the palate. Bright and crisp with rich fruit expression, and an elegant finish.
Food Pairing
Root: 1 Sauvignon Blanc is crisp, refreshing and pairs delightfully well with many types of foods. Try it with fresh summer salads, grilled oysters, or baked salmon. A great match with smoked ham and cheesy potato casserole, or lemon-herbed chicken with spring vegetable risotto.
