This just in from New Zealand!! Here are some notes from the winery “The Cellar Selection Sauvignon Blanc is grown on a variety of soil types in Marlborough’s Wairau and Awatere valleys. Gravels provide tropical flavours, clay loams produce citrus notes and deep silty soils lift the aromatic quality of this wine while contributing weight and texture to the palate”

Suavia Soave Classico 2023
WINE DESCRIPTION
Suavia Soave Classico is composed of 100% Garganega grapes harvested from the Tessari family’s 12 hectare estate located in the historic heart of the Soave appellation. Suavia’s Soave Classico is vinified only in stainless steel tanks with several months’ lees contact before bottling. The resulting wine has a clarity of expression and regional typicity that speaks to the Tessari family’s philosophy of careful selection, low yields and incredible attention to detail in the winemaking process.
TASTING NOTES
Suavia Soave Classico appears bright and lemon-yellow. Fresh aromas of apple, pear and almond balance clean minerality and a hint of fresh herb. Crisp and refreshing on the palate, the flavors and aromas build toward a harmonious and lingering finish.
