Sancerre, Central Vineyards, Loire Valley, France
To me a perfect meeting point of ripeness, acidic tension, concentration, and minerality. The depth of fruit shows the vineyards exposition while well-made SS treatment keeps purity and freshness across all fronts. Ripe grapefruit, underripe stone fruit, tropical notes without having an exuberant side to it.
Herbal component is subdued yet integrated, making more of the case for sweet herbs than raw pyrazine. Texturally there’s almost an allusion of oak in its mouthfeel. This is fantastic for the price, great quality.

Grapefruit Sauvignon Blanc solid but not interesting. Sour lemon finish.

Lemongrass and honeysuckle nose. The palate features grapefruit, lemon, lemon zest, honey, and saline. High acid and a sizzling finish.

High 13.5%. Still an incredible Sancerre. Quite tropical. Yes grapefruit but not over the top. Hint bitter. Apricots. Roasted Hazelnuts. From Seaside Food Market in Cardiff. It’s so good I think I will buy another bottle just to try it again.
