Tasting Note:
“Pur Sauvignon” is a bold reinterpretation of Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc, pushing boundaries while remaining rooted in precision and finesse. The nose bursts open with an expressive bouquet of passionfruit, white peach, and lime zest, interwoven with delicate floral notes and a subtle hint of flinty minerality. On the palate, it delivers a striking interplay between aromatic intensity and taut structure. Bright citrus and tropical fruit layers are carried by a finely etched acidity that creates remarkable tension and drive. The influence of lees ageing adds a gentle creaminess, rounding the mid-palate without diminishing its freshness.
The finish is long, vibrant, and saline, leaving a lingering impression of citrus and crushed stone. Drinking beautifully now, this wine will continue to evolve gracefully through to 2030, gaining additional nuance and textural complexity. Ideal with freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, goat’s cheese, or herb-driven dishes, Pur Sauvignon is both a conversation piece and a serious gastronomic partner.
