Tasting notes :
A limpid mid-golden wine. The inviting bouquet is creamy with notes of quince, summer herbs, a touch of box leaf and citrus, and excellent oak integration. The palate is silky with notes of green papaya, lemon oil, and a hint of rosemary, backed by fine acidity and good length. This is an elegant, mineral Sauvignon Blanc in a unique Brda style.
Food matching ideas: We recommend combining it with white meat, fresh goat's cheese salads, seafood, fish carpaccio, and vegetable dishes (pasta with basil); it is ideal with raw salmon, sashimi, fresh salads with herbs, and even fruit salads with mint.
