Toro de Piedra Sauvignon Blanc 2022 (750ml)
Product price
$15.99
Description
Cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc tends toward citrus and green herbs rather than tropical ripeness, and this 2022 white from South Africa follows that path. It is a still, dry expression of the grape, spending four months on the lees before bottling, a step that lends a little texture and roundness to an otherwise nervy style.
The nose is bright and classic, lime candy meeting a green note of nettle. Medium-bodied and open, the palate stays fresh and zesty from start to finish, with a lemony snap on the close that keeps it squarely in food territory. This is a wine built for the table, and it has the acidity to hold its shape for a few more years.

Expert Reviews
Clean and citrus driven, the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc offers aromas of lime candies and nettles in a lively and classic nose. Medium-bodied, fresh and open-knit, the palate is balanced, clean and zesty, ending with a lemony finish that will remain food friendly for a few more years. 20,000 bottles spent four months on the lees before being bottled.
