2021 Sauvignon Blanc
$29.00
Tasting Notes
Our goal for this Sauvignon Blanc is to reflect our unique Niagara terroir and this wine shows it in spades. 2021 was a warm, long season characterized by some rains at harvest. While tricky to deal with in the winery, the wines are amazingly ripe and complex with fantastic natural acidity. Very intense tropical aromas of guava, mango and passionfruit play off kiwi, key lime and sweet Thai basil. The palate has bright acidity matched by a creamy texture, with more kiwi, lime-leaf, star-fruit and passionfruit, but also lovely lemongrass and elderflower. The long and intense finish leaves on a pleasant light flinty note with hints of wet stones in a mountain stream. Drink now or over the next 3 years. Enjoy with pan-fried halibut, fresh pesto & anchovy-paste pasta, or lemon & herb roasted chicken.
