Sauvignon Blanc, 2019
Shipped and sold by Bench 1775 Winery
Our signature white varietal, this Sauvignon Blanc was picked in 9 different lots and vinified separately in stainless steel tanks. Slow ferments at cool temperatures have resulted in batches blended to produce this blended 100% Sauvignon Blanc wine. Fresh cut grass, zingy lime, pungent pepper, grapefruit, gooseberry, and a long fruit finish. Absolutely made to pair with BC oysters, fresh seafood, fresh BC salads and creamy pasta. Also good with spiced foods.
The 2017 vintage was a featured wine in November’s Wine Club package, 2018.
