Primaluce Sauvignon Blanc

son of the dawn

#land #exposure #light #tension #release
A wine that springs from the first light of day, the dew of the dawn, gently rocked by the cool morning breeze, ever poised and ever stylish, constantly striving heavenward, aspiring to greater things. The bouquet opens out instantly on the palate, releasing the tension that is its very essence: mineral by nature, austere yet predictable, with a thrilling tang reminiscent of the sea. A choice that has evolved over the years to make the very best of the land, with the aid of the grapes that enjoy the best exposure to the sun.
