River Sail Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Region: Bordeaux, France

Grape Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

I have seen first hand the colorful small sailboats that meander across the Gironde River in Bordeaux. As a wine person it is easy to forget that while this massive river, and nearby Atlantic Ocean, play a huge influence in the wines of the region they are also a source of joy for boating enthusiasts. This wine manages to capture the spirit of both, a light and delicious quaffer perfect for relaxing on a boat, at the beach or simply after a long day.

At the core of this wine are 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes from an organically farmed vineyard in the Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux. It is crafted to accentuate the grassy, citrus tinged side of Sauvignon, finishing crisp and dry. Drink in the next year with an asparagus and goat cheese tart or crab cakes over a butter lettuce salad.
