2022 Saracina - Sauvignon Blanc North Coast

Classic Côtes du Rhône. Fruity and fleshy with beautiful tannins, it’s a great everyday wine made almost exclusively from our Grand Prébois vineyards (for the Grenache) and our Vinsobres vineyards (for the Syrah). A beautiful wine you should always have around!

This wine is a blend of Grenache (mainly from our Prébois vineyard in Orange), Syrah from further north (from our vineyard in Vinsobres) and Mourvèdre

-Importer notes (Vineyard Brands)

Based on about 60% Grenache with roughly equal parts Carignan, Mourvèdre and Syrah

The grapes are de-stemmed with a light pressing. The élevage is in neutral oak barrels, 600L demi-muids and one foudre for 12 months. Minimal SO2 additions. An elegant, long and savory wine that is best decanted. Production averages 3,500-4,000 bottles.
