Wine Maker's Notes: |
|
Golden yellow color with hint of honey. The
wine reveals typical Sauvignon Blanc character, a degree of earth spiciness
and some nuttiness too. A rare
complexion wine of this type, with balanced acidity medium weight with long
alcohol finish. Additional flavor from oak wood makes this wine unique. |
