Domaine Joël Delaunay Touraine Sauvignon Blanc Touraine AOC, France, is a vibrant still white wine (blanc) that is delightfully dry. Crafted from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes, this wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks after a short cold maceration, followed by three months ageing on fine lees with occasional bâtonnage to enhance texture and complexity. It presents an expressive nose of grapefruit and stone fruits with a hint of blackcurrant leaf. The palate is fruit-forward, balanced by a bright freshness and a long, mineral finish. This vegan and vegetarian-friendly wine pairs beautifully with lean fish, shellfish, and goat cheese.
75.0CL , 12.0% ABV
Vinification
The grapes were harvested by machine and 30% then underwent skin contact maceration for 12 hours before being gently pressed. Alcoholic fermentation was temperature-controlled at a cool 16 degrees in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and aromatics in the wine. The wine spends a few months on fine lees with occasional battonage to add some texture and complexity to the finished wine.
Flavour profile
