The nose is intensely perfumed, with lychee, gooseberry, grassy and rosehip notes all contributing. The flavour is similar; with an abundance of tropical fruits, lychees and passionfruit, swirling through the palate, highlighted by floral and grassy edges. The wine is fine and long, thanks to vibrant natural acidity, and with a mineral finish. Would easily contend with any its New Zealand cousins

Common questions
Is Sancerre a Sauvignon Blanc?

Is Sauvignon Blanc dry?
Almost always. Its ripe fruit flavours can seem sweet, but most Sauvignon Blanc is fermented to dryness.
