Community Tasting Note

rcb25 Likes this wine:

Friday, May 7, 2021 - Opened this for International Sauvignon Blanc Day. The 500 is a selection of the best 500L barrels of SB and from lower density vines that the other von Winning SB bottlings.

Deeply aromatic. A bit sulphurous at first with some struck match notes. Tropical and stone fruits alongside herbal and floral notes. Papaya, passion fruit, lime and grapefruit zest, quince and dried pineapple alongside elderflowers, fennel fronds, and jasmine. Quite rich on the palate, leaning much more towards Bordeaux than the Loire. It needs some time to shed its baby fat. I'd start checking in on this from 2026 onwards.

ABV: 13.0%
Closure: natural cork
Decant: 1h
Stem: Grassl Liberte
