From: Loire Valley, France
Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Notes: Pale gold with green hints. An expressive, intense, and complex nose, rhubarb, blackcurrant, kiwi fragrances, and a light vegetal touch (marigold). The entry is soft and round—bright freshness on the palate, delicate and lively purity. Well balanced and harmonious, it ends with a clean, lingering finish.
Pairing: As a young wine, it is a superb aperitif served at 10°C and a marvelous companion for shellfish. After a few months of maturation, it becomes excellent with Asian dishes, fish dishes, sushi, grilled, or fish with a sauce. Also very good with roasted white meats and poultry. This wine should be served between 10 and 13°C (50-55°F).

Precision, balance, and complexity are the maxims of the Domaine Delaporte cuveés, with each delivering a strong sense of individual terroir, marked by considerable minerality, power, and freshness.
