David Finlayson Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Name: David Finlayson Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Brand: Edgebaston
SKU: 51119

Green apple, flinty and tropical fruit flavours on the nose flow through onto the palate where crisp, clean acidity is met by a creamy midpalate. A softer and rounder version of Sauvignon Blanc than most modern day examples with more than a nod to the French style of the Loire.

Ideal with seafood dishes and spicy summer salads.
