Jolie Laide - Sauvignon Gris

In 2022, this Sauvignon Gris from California was crafted. Originally from the Loire Valley, where it's called 'Sauvignon Rose', this grape is a mutation of Sauvignon Blanc with a very pale pink skin. Unlike its cousin Sauvignon Blanc, it makes wines with a more delicate flavor. Grown in the cool climate and limestone soils of Paicines, it offers lovely notes of apricot, white flowers, and lemon blossom. A subtle hint of salinity lingers on the finish. It's an ideal match for seared scallops in a white wine sauce or oysters on the half - shell.

To enjoy this Sauvignon Gris wine, first, chill it in the fridge for about an hour. Pour it into a wine glass and take a moment to smell the lovely scents of apricot and white flowers. Sip it slowly to savor the lemon blossom flavor and the subtle salinity. When pairing it with food, go for seared scallops in a white wine sauce or oysters on the half - shell. Keep the wine in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. If you open the bottle but don't finish it, seal it tightly and put it back in the fridge. It should stay good for a couple of days.
