Description

The Foreign Affair Winery Sauvignon Blanc (Small Lot Collection) 2019

A youthful wine with a promise for longevity

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Sauvignon Blanc from estate vineyards.

Taste Profile: An elegant mix of citrus flavors like Meyer lemon, key lime, and ruby grapefruit with light notes of wet slate and lanolin, and a subtle finish of gooseberry.

Winemaking Process: Grapes were harvested in batches according to optimal ripeness, with a portion (11%) being set aside to dry for 64 days in the Appassimento method. The wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel.

Buttery & Honeyed Whites

Full-bodied fruit and spice, often with the ability to age. This style usually relies on new oak to impart vanilla driven characteristics. Malolactic fermentation & on lees ageing also contributes to the texture
