Sauvignon Blanc & Sauvignon Blanc-based Blends

Normal to cool weather early in the season resulted in natural fruit concentration on the vine and encouraged a long, slow maturation. Toward the end of the season, temperatures stayed cool in Casablanca, producing a rich Sauvignon Blanc with ripe citrus flavors and aromas of tropical passion fruit.

Tasting Notes

Fresh complex aromas of passion fruit, grapefruit and lime are balanced by crisp acidity and bright mineral notes that lead to a strong, clean finish.

Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with rich cream sauces, grilled seafood, pork roast with vegetables, spicy Szechuan chicken salad and baked apple desserts.
