Marqués de Riscal Rueda Sauvignon Blanc 2018
In 1974 Marqués de Riscal successfully introduced the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety, originally from the Loire Valley, in to the Rueda region of Spain. Today, Riscal has over 70 hectares of its own vineyards producing wine from the variety and it is now one of the permitted grapes authorised by the Rueda Designation of Origin (DO). The Marqués de Riscal Sauvignon Blanc is 100% organic and made with the minimum of intervention and with total respect for the environment and the ecosystem surrounding the estate. Its fresh image represents a wine born of the land, of its roots, a sustainable, fine quality wine. Pale yellow in colour this organic Sauvignon Blanc displays a very complex nose with hints of fresh grass over a mineral base which gives the wine personality, and abundant fresh fruit such as citrus fruits, pineapple and melon. It leaves a fresh, aromatic taste in the mouth and has a clean, long finish.
