A so-called “yellow wine”, pale wildflower yellow in the cup, like some white wines. A perfect pair to an antique couch upholstered with pale yellow floral embroidery (like the one in the background), preferably in a very sunny open-air conservatory or screened-in porch (which this isn’t).
Smells of soft Bourbon vanilla wafting from a freshly baked coconut-lemon cake.
Taste: Oh! – immediate flush of sunflowers, black-eyed Susans, yellow tulips, buttercups, and daffodils! After just a few seconds of immersion in these wild fields, the curtain is lifted by a microscopic effervescence enveloping the mouth – that, like the smoke in a magic show, gives way almost instantly to a mineraly, bittersweet pear and demanding white grapefruit finish.
Enjoy as an apéritif just before dinner on its own, or with light appetizers, especially on a warm or hot brilliantly sunny day outdoors, or when you need a sunny pick-me up at lunch.
- Grape: 100% Savagnin Blanc (different than Sauvignon)
