CARNUNTUM | ÖSTERREICH
Sauvignon Blanc 2022
This wine will cut through the worst head-cold you’ve ever had… So impressive with its intense nose of gooseberry, white currants and elderflowers. Very expressive on the palate as well – the juicy core of sweet fruit is beautifully supported by an elegant acidic structure. The wine is very lively, and vibrant all the way into the finish.

From SHRIMPS to prawns to lobster – it loves them all, providing exciting accompaniment ‘at eye-level’. Fish dishes as well, will do well with authoritative spices or heavier sauces. Additionally, the wine is very harmonious with hard cheeses.
