 Tasted by Xavi1986 on 6/29/2023: Comida Restaurante Maite Zaragoza. Joven y disfrutable. Buen maridaje. (189 views)
 Tasted by Bradley_B on 5/20/2023 & rated 90 points: Would have liked a bit more acid, minerality and crispness, but had with poke and personal preference (I’m an Albariño drinker). This is fresh, smooth, round and clean. Very easy to drink and it went fast, but not all that complex or aromatic. Safe choice for hosting guests (really unobjectionable) and a good value on a solid Sauvignon Blanc. Label says it’s an introduction to the producer and the Loire and I’d say that description fits. Will buy more. (193 views)
 Tasted by BadOyster on 1/12/2023 & rated 91 points: I love this wine.
Sure it’s short and very one-note but that blast of petrol is so addictive and a reminder of what SB can do even at such an attractive price point. (374 views)
 Tasted by Jan tore gjendem on 6/4/2022 & rated 89 points: Citrus, Apple, goosberry. Fruity . Drank it to grilled loin from white fish. Good! (429 views)
