Tasting notes

Brilliant and pure pale straw-yellow color. 42/25 Sauvignon Blanc reveals gorgeous aromas of freshly cut grass, green apple and juicy lemon, elegantly surrounded by elderflower and hints of fresh nettle. 

In the mouth it is fresh, herbaceous-fruity, with fine notes of elderberry, citrus and green apple. Wine with a light body, excellent balance, medium-lasting finish and mineral aftertaste.

Serving and food pairing

Excellent as an aperitif. Great match for poultry, fish, seafood, vegetables, spicy foods. Pair with Asian cuisine and sushi; pea soup and dishes garnished with pea puree; vegetable meatballs with milk sauce; fresh green salads; fish appetizers; pasta with pesto and vegetables; asparagus dishes; spring rolls or spicy pastries. 

Serve at 9-11°С, in Sauvignon Blanc glass (tall stem, slender bowl, narrow rim) or regular White wine glass.
