WineSaint
Wild aromatics of eucalyptus, anise and citrus zest leap from the glass. This Sauvignon Blanc/Sauvignon Gris blend carries 20g/L residual sugar but wears it gracefully. Candied ginger, quince and tart rhubarb unfold with Germanic precision yet Burgundian restraint. The sweetness feels earned rather than forced. A bold departure that succeeds brilliantly.
