Grilled pineapple, dried lemon, lemon grass, flint and toast on the nose. It’s full-bodied with bright acidity and a creamy texture. Layered and concentrated with well-integrated oak spice. Serious white. Long. Sauvignon blanc. Drink now or hold.

The white 2019 Le Domaine is mostly Sauvignon Blanc, with 30% Verdejo, and comes from a warm year (not as warm as 2017) when Sauvignon Blanc achieved perfect ripeness. The wine has good ripeness, 13.5% alcohol, very good freshness, a subtle nose that is not that varietal (as it's often the case) and a soft palate with great balance and purity. It finishes with a faint bitter touch. The oak is neatly integrated. 32,095 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2020 after six months in barrel.
