My regular reader know I am a fan of Sauv blanc. Super versatile and food friendly. This one is pale in color with a mild grassy nose. On the mid palate the wine matches the nose with lovely smooth grassy notes and elegant acidity. On the medium length finish the wine displays some mild pink grapefruit notes. This is definitely a softer gentler sauv blanc. I paired it with a pan friend chicken shnitzel and it went perfectly. I really enjoyed it. I would give it an 88+.
