Tournée du Sud Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Fresh and lively, this zesty Sauvignon Blanc is characterised by great aromatic intensity, with citrus notes of grapefruit and lime combined with exotic pineapple and passion fruit and a delicate herbal note on the finish.
The fruit is sourced from carefully selected vineyards in Gascony. This area has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, with the majority of rainfall occurring during the spring and autumn. Dry, continental winds from the northwest bring cooling influences to the vineyards, which help to reduce disease pressure. This wind is interspersed with warm winds from the south, which bring moisture to the vines. The combination of terroir and climate result in a fresh and expressive Sauvignon Blanc.
Picked at aromatic maturity, the grapes were destemmed and crushed before undergoing a gentle pressing and cold settling of the juice. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks at 18°C to maintain freshness and aromatic intensity. The wine was made in an unoaked style to showcase the vibrancy of the Sauvignon Blanc variety.
