£19.95
More in the style of a Loire Valley Sancerre, with its rapier-sharp, mineral-laden nose and fresh citrus fruits on the palate, this is the perfect accompaniment to grilled fish, oysters, or just by itself!

The wine displays textbook Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc, with bright acidity, smoke, citrus, and grassiness. It is insanely addictive!
