The character of Menade Sauvignon
Menade Sauvignon is a modern-style, varietal Sauvignon Blanc that focuses on freshness and pure, fruity aromas. The nose is dominated by vivid citrus notes, green apple, blackcurrant leaf and fresh green herbs, all supported by subtle mineral tones. On the palate it is dry, taut and brightly acidic, yet well balanced, leaving a long-lasting, refreshing impression.

Alongside citrus and crisp green apple notes, you can discover gentle herbal and spicy nuances that elegantly accompany each sip. The finish is marked by minerality and fresh acidity, giving Menade Sauvignon a lively character and making it an excellent choice if you are looking for a light yet distinctive white wine.
Food pairing and occasions
Menade Sauvignon pairs very well with seafood, grilled or steamed fish, shellfish and light pasta dishes.

For serving, choose a slender white wine glass to help the bouquet unfold in a focused way. This style of wine is best enjoyed young, when the variety’s vibrant acidity and bright aromas are at their most expressive.
