The sandy and gravelly soils, coupled with ample sunlight, contribute to concentrated flavors and a refined minerality, creating a Sauvignon Blanc that is both fruit-forward and structured.

Finish
Clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus and a gentle mineral note, leaving a crisp and bright impression.
