Pouilly Fumè 2014

This family has been producing prestigious Sauvignon Blanc wines in the heart of Pouilly-sur-Loire for nine generations.

A 100% Sauvignon wine the grapes for which were soft pressed, sat for nine months on the lees and aged in the bottle for another 6-8 months. It has a luminous, pale-golden color and a bouquet that hopes with notes of white glowers, gooseberry, pineapple and freshly cut grass. This is followed by a pleasing scent of green almond and a chalky minerality to then become slightly smoky in the finish. The mouthfeel is balanced, fresh and mineral with flavors consistent with the aroma and a long persistence.

This paired fantastically with the grilled shrimp and pineapple.
