Le Sirocco Sauvignon Blanc

£6.60 per 75cl sold in boxes of 6 bottles

Le Sirocco is a warm, dry wind that blows from the Sahara desert across the Mediterranean Sea into the south of France. It brings sand from the Sahara and moisture from the Mediterranean. The Sauvignon Blanc benefits greatly from this moisture as it ensures good balance and varietal character given the warm, dry growing conditions of the Languedoc. This wine is Sauvignon Blanc dominant but has been blended with a small percentage of Muscat and Roussanne.

Colour:    Very pale almost clear yellow with a touch of green.

Nose:       Zesty, fresh and clean with citrus characteristics especially grapefruit.  Lively floral notes.

Palate:     Crisp and fresh with a longish finish.  Good acidity, balance, and mouth feel.

Drink:       Now until 2010

Available vintages: 2008
