This Sauvignon Blanc comes from the Kimmeridgian soil, where the ancient oyster fossil "Exogira Virgula" rests. Aromas of citrus and white flowers are harmoniously combined with a salty minerality. This refined white wine combines the pure fruitiness of biodynamic farming with the sharp acidity of the cool climate.

Owning & Enjoying

Tasting notes
The appearance is pale greenish lemon yellow. The aroma is of citrus fruits such as lime and grapefruit, white flowers, and subtle herbs, followed by a flint aroma derived from Kimmeridgian and minerals reminiscent of iodine. The palate is characterized by a harmonious blend of sharp, firm acidity and rich fruitiness, with a long, salty finish. It is pure yet complex, making it a perfect companion to food.

Pairing
Oyster gratin
Marinated spear squid and herbs
Goat cheese and herb salad
