Blockheadia All Tank Sauvignon Blanc

Blockheadia All Tank Sauvignon Blanc Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: The fresh round palate and crispness of this wine is the perfect accompaniment for seafood and pairs perfectly with the ecclectic flavors of Asian cuisine. You'll experience white peaches and nectarines, followed by vibrant grapefruit & kumquat over minerals.

Varietal Definition
Sauvignon Blanc:
Sauvignon Blanc is widely grown in California — at over 15,000 acres, it’s now the third most planted variety — and often assumes the moniker ‘Fume Blanc’. This popular synonym, credited to Napa’s Robert Mondavi, derives from the grape’s historic home of Pouilly in France’s Upper Loire Valley, where Sauvignon Blanc is the dominant varietal and goes locally by the name of ‘Blanc Fumé’. When treated with respect and afforded suitable growing conditions, Sauvignon Blanc is one of the wine world’s darlings. Steely, racy acidity, green, gooseberry fruit, asparagus and a grassy, herbaceous character characterize dry wines made from this grape.
