Details
This is a super fresh and clean account of Sauvignon Blanc which comprises 70% of this blend. The other 30% is from a local Valencian grape called Merseguera. Expect notes of white blossom and white fruit with bags of citrus freshness on the palate. Very drinkable stuff!

Origin: Likely France, but unconfirmed. Possibly a wild grape variety that was indigenous to multiple areas in slightly different forms. Mainly Grown In: France, New Zealand, Italy, Chile, USA, South Africa, and Australia. Key Facts: If you’re a fan of a lime twist in your drinks, the smell of fresh-cut grass in the morning, and have been told you are intense or that "you sure stand out in a crowd", well, you’ve met your match. Sauvignon Blanc is an all-dials-at-max kind of grape, which means it's going to fist pump your senses with its intense (and sometimes pungent) aromas, mouth-watering freshness and cleansing herbaceous character. As one of the most planted white grapes in the world, it’s no wonder it has claimed hearts in various styles; It can be lean and zesty when it’s from cooler climates and fuller and more tropical when grown in warmer ones. Fun Fact: Sex in the City's Sarah Jessica Parker is such a fan that she has her very own Sauvignon Blanc!

Pairing guide
Bodega Las Virtudes is showcasing the amazing versatility and blending potential of its spectacular Sauvignon Blanc grapes, resulting in the kind of white wine that’s destined for great things at any dining table. We especially loved this wine with spicy southeast Asian curries - that combination of ginger, chilli and lime is going to work perfectly here - and it’s also going to be great with delicate white fish dishes, barbecued chicken, poultry salads, and tofu creations. Shellfish and simple buttery pasta dishes will also be fantastic!
