Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste Notes
- Nose: Vibrant and mouth-watering. Aromas of Meyer lemon, gooseberry, and grapefruit jump out of the glass.
- Palate: Crisp and bright. Expect integrated flavors of passion fruit, white nectarine, and key lime, with subtle hints of stone fruit and a "pop-rock" like prickly tension on the tongue.
- Finish: Long, balanced, and refreshing with a clean, citrus-heavy exit.
Food Pairings
- Savory Pairing: Thai Green Curry or Garlic Prawns. The wine’s bright acidity and tropical notes cut through spicy coconut milk and highlight the sweetness of the shellfish.
- Easter/Spring Pairing: Deviled Eggs or Asparagus Tart. Sauvignon Blanc is one of the few wines that can stand up to the "green" notes of asparagus.
- Cheese Pairing: Goat Cheese (Chèvre). This is a legendary match; the tanginess of the cheese perfectly complements the wine’s zesty lemon profile.
- Sweet Pairing: Lemon Chiffon Cupcakes (fittingly!) or a Fruit Tart with Kiwi. The citrus in the wine accentuates the airy, fluffy fruit flavors.
