Finca La Colonia Sauvignon Blanc - A bright crisp and fresh Sauvignon Blanc from Mendoza, Argentina. Zesty and crisp with plenty of character. Lovely citrus fruit and slightly grassy notes on the palate. Can be enjoyed on its own but great with light salads or seafood.
In 1875, Edmund Norton first planted vines in Mendoza's Lujan de Cuyo district high in the Andean foothills. At 900-1100 meters, the altitude moderates the temperature, causing an extended ripening season, and also exposes the vines to more ultraviolet light, which encourages colour and tannin development. The results are obvious for all to see, vibrant wines packed with flavour, good acidity, well-structured and amazingly food friendly.
The Finca La Colonia range of wines are sourced from young vines, with no oak to obscure their immediate, accessible fruit.
