Sauvignon blanc (FR) + Garganega (IT) '22

Get your summer groove on with this tropical party that you'd prefer not to leave. It's okay - you can finish the bottle, we won't tell anyone.

GRAPES

50% sauvignon blanc from Château La Varière (Loire, FR) + 50% garganega from Fasoli Gino, (Veneto, IT).

TASTING NOTES

The garganega grapes bring a distinct Mediterranean influence, offering a generous body and a rich, golden hue. Exciting aromas of ripe citrus fruits, juicy peaches, and delicate floral notes, creating a refreshing and inviting bouquet.

The sauvignon grape is the first one that arrived in our chateau and that went through our new "monster" press. While our sauvignon arrived early, our garganega grape arrived late. Except for a low level of added sulfites (which we use to prevent the growth of unwanted microorganisms), our organic wine yeast, and an organic component to prevent bacteria on the muscatel, this wine doesn’t contain any other additives – just grape juice. We used a cellulose filter to clear the wine.
