Sauvignon Blanc, 2007
The Delta Wine Company

Variety: Sauvignon Blanc

Size: 75cl

Alcohol: 13%

Type: Table, White

GOLD MEDAL - IWC 2008. Great pungency on the nose with depth and richness on the palate, harnessed by typical varietal acidity. The palate is full, finishing with fresh gooseberry and currant acidity with mineral characters that linger for several minutes. This is an excellent food wine that will enhance meals with delicate flavours such as white meats or fish. The 2008 vintage will be £2 a bottle more due to the currency exchange rate.

Frog's Leap

California Napa Valley

Variety: Sauvignon Blanc

Size: 75cl

Alcohol: 13%

Type: Table, White

Aromas of lemongrass, wet stone and delicate floral notes. This wine’s deep connection to its Rutherford roots is revealed through the subtle flavors of minerality and slate that peer through the citrus and zest tones. Crisp and taut on the palate, this wine’s bright acidity makes it refreshing - a wine of engaging distinctiveness, much like the appellation from which it originates.
