Aromas & Nose
Bright and expressive nose showing grapefruit, green apple, and lemon zest, with additional honeyed and confit gooseberry notes. Subtle hints of orange peel, white flowers, and a yeasty nuance give some depth and complexity. There’s a fresh, slightly vegetal “green” edge typical of Sauvignon Blanc.
Palate & Taste
On the palate it’s light-bodied, lively, and crisp, supported by refreshing acidity. The flavors mirror the nose — citrus, green apple, lemon, and grapefruit, balanced by a gentle sweetness from the residual sugar. The mid-palate has a smooth texture, while the finish is medium-length, clean, and zesty, with lingering citrus peel and green fruit.
Style & Character
This wine stands out for being authentically wine-like rather than juice-like — the acidity and structure maintain balance despite the absence of alcohol. It offers a refreshing, modern expression of dealcoholized Sauvignon Blanc with true varietal character.
Suggested Pairings
Pairs beautifully with:
• Light salads with vinaigrette
• Goat cheese or soft white cheeses
• Asparagus dishes
• Seafood, sushi, or grilled vegetables
• Summer quiche or light pasta with herbs
Serve well chilled (around 52–55 °F) for maximum freshness and aromatic lift.
