Levin Sauvignon Blanc 2015 (IGP VL) - Half Bottles 375 mL
Certification Agriculture Biologique (Certified Organic & Vegan) – Flagship
Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Appellation: AOP Touraine, France – Touraine–Chenonceaux
Vineyards: Bourré, Choussy and Oisly
Soil: Three soil types - Tuffeau limestone formed 100 million years ago, mixed with a harmonious blend of loose and flinty clay, mica and sand. Silex, the 65-million-year-old flint terroir, stores and reflects heat, producing restrained linear, gunflint mineral wines with acidity and spice. Sandy topsoil sitting on top of a thick layer of excellent smectite clay adding varietal flavours and aromas.
Vintage: Warm and dry weather conditions during the spring and summer months regionally allowed most grapes to reach full maturity with minimal risk of disease. Our vineyard expression felt like a leaner year, that resulted in zippy, citrus dominant notes.
Winemaking: Following cold stabilisation in stainless steel, this vintage underwent a finely tuned aromatic fermentation over the course of approximately one month, to realise the wine’s full aromatic potential, before alcoholic fermentation over ten days.
Technical: Alc./Vol. 13% | Residual sugar 1.1 g/L | Free/Total Sulphur levels 26/86 mg/L | Bottled June 2016 | Production 10,000 bottles
Notes: A lifted and crisp sauvignon showing citrus, grapefruit notes with white peach and tropical fruit and hints of ‘tomato stalk’, wild mint and gentle herbaceous tones. The palate has great minerality and length, finished with crisp, refreshing acidity – a sauvignon blanc with great structure.
