Shop Review: A crisp and fruity blend featuring 20% of the
herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc, 50% creamy Loin de l’Oeil and notes of fresh apple
and crisp pear, plus a touch of herb from the 30% Mauzac. It has a bright feel,
with a hint of mineral on the finish.
My Review: This white almost reminded me more of a sparkling wine or a champagne. It smelled like granny smith apples and a bit like sour guava fruit. The taste was more like crisp pears, and kind of reminded me of that sparkling pear juice you could get from the store around New Year's. I couldn't taste mineral per say but the finish tasted a bit like wet rock.
I did not pair this with food but would like to try it with some light cheese and cured meat appetizers!
