Tasting Notes:
Altosur Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant and refreshing white wine that dazzles with its crisp acidity, yellow-green colour and intense aromatic profile. On the nose, it bursts with citrus notes of lime and grapefruit, complemented by hints of fresh grass and a mineral background. The palate is equally lively, with a zesty lime-driven flavor that is balanced by subtle mineral undertones and a clean, crisp finish that lingers pleasantly.
Food and Wine Pairing:
This Sauvignon Blanc pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. It’s an excellent match for light salads, fresh pasta, sushi, fish, seafood, especially oysters and grilled prawns, as well as white meats like chicken and turkey and desserts like cakes. It also complements spicy Asian cuisine, such as Thai or Vietnamese dishes, with its refreshing acidity cutting through rich, flavorful sauces.
Serving Temperature: Serve chilled at 10-12°C (50-54°F) to enhance its crisp, refreshing characteristics.
Storage Potential:
This wine is best enjoyed young and fresh. While it can be cellared/stored for up to 2 years, it is recommended to drink it within 1-2 years of the vintage to fully appreciate its vibrant fruit flavors.
