La Barbe Sauvignon Blanc 2024
France, France
Sauvignon Blanc, Vermentino · 2024 · 12.5% abv
Fresh, zesty and lifted, this Sauvignon Blanc offers a burst of citrus, gooseberry and green apple alongside softer notes of tropical fruit. The palate is crisp and lively with balanced acidity and a refreshing, mouthwatering finish that invites another sip.
Production
The Sauvignon Blanc is harvested in early September for freshness, while Vermentino is picked later to add texture and tropical complexity. Both varieties undergo a short period of cold skin maceration before fermentation. The wine is aged on lees for two months to build weight and roundness before bottling.
Vineyard
Sourced from cool-climate sites in southern France where ocean breezes and cooler nights preserve aromatic intensity. The mix of sandy and limestone soils helps maintain bright acidity and pure fruit character, producing a vibrant, expressive style.
Pairing
A natural match for goat’s cheese salad or grilled asparagus with lemon dressing. Its freshness also pairs beautifully with light seafood dishes, shellfish or summer vegetable risottos — or simply enjoy it as a crisp aperitif.
