Sauvignon Blanc

Vintage

2010

Description

Straw-yellow and brilliant. Elderflower, definitely mineral, red and yellow bell pepper, grapefruit; an animating tropical orchard. Dry with delicate fruit acidity and a remarkable creamy texture and density. Gooseberry, maracuja, red currant and pomelo. Smelling of an early summer pick nick on a flower field! Complex, persistent, well structured and animating. A compact, characteristic Sauvignon blanc showing a nice potential. Also beautiful when served in large glasses. Well suited for long "distances" – serious. Chef`s darling.

Accompanying ideas

To start with before the great red wine tasting sets on. Salad with young spinach, pignoli and fried yellow pepper, stinging nettle soup with honey pockets. Fish dishes such as samlet with pure of lime and celery. Tartar of goat cheese with leek and goose berries. Avocado with all kinds of asparagus. To wait for Gordot or the main course.
