Titus
Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc, 2009
 |
| |
 |
Titus Vineyards began back in the 60’s
and was planted to Mondeuce, Burger and
Golden Chasselas, varietals all but
forgotten today. Now, with over 30 years
of experience, the vineyard is planted
with varietals to fit the terroir to
produce excellent quality wines. Their
first release of Sauvignon Blanc 2009
exudes refreshing aromas of lemon, lime,
stone fruits, gooseberry, pineapple,
melon, minerals and floral notes which
all carry through to the palate. The
wine’s elegant, crisp acidity is
balanced and although its style is light
and lively, the lees aging resulted in a
supple, alluring mouthfeel that lingers
and evolves into tropical fruits
throughout the medium length finish.
This Sauvignon Blanc is meant to be
enjoyed for its youthful, vivacious
flavors and is ready drink now or over
the next three years. |
