How would you describe me this grape???
I am zesty, fresh and crisp. I smell like citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruit and sometimes goosesberries and even cats pee!! But that’s a good thing. And I originated in France but am planted prolifically in many different regions.

And we are so on board,100% ready to celebrate, to educate and introduce you to two very distinct Sauvignon Blancs. which come from two different wine growing regions.
