L'esprit De Sauvignon 2012

L'Esprit de Sauvignon reflects modern day Languedoc at its best. Before the widespread introduction of temperature controlled fermentation here in the 1980s, crisp whites like L'Esprit were rare. Then 'Flying Winemakers' began appearing in Europe (mainly from the New World and travelling north after harvesting in the southern hemisphere was over) and showing what great results could be achieved by cool vinification in pristine stainless steel. They captured all the sunny flavours of the grapes just at the peak of ripeness.Sauvignon Blanc is renowned for its grassy gooseberry aroma and zingy citrus fruit ' precisely what you'll find in L'Esprit. Perfect for sipping on its own, and with grilled white fish, salads and shellfish dishes.
