91 Points - International Wine Report. This Touraine Sauvignon Blanc has the balance and minerality of many Sancerre's but for a fraction of the price. Phenomenal value for money. Enjoy with a goats cheese and asparagus tart on a warm summers evening for a taste sensation! The fresh and lively Touraine Sauvignon is packed full of ripe lemons and exotic fruit aromas with an underlying smoky minerality adding complexity. It has a vibrant, crisp acidity and well-defined citrus fruit notes making this a perfect wine for an aperitif or for fish-based dishes.

Wine Press
91 Points - International Wine Report. The Touraine Sauvignon was sourced from vines planted in clay, silica and sandy soils. Bright and lively, this beings with vivid aromas of lychee, lime zest, wet stones and white floral notes all bursting from the glass. On the palate this is nicely balanced with a lovely combination of bright acidity and fresh tropical fruits all leading up to the mouthwatering finish.
