Nue Wilde 2018 Sauvignon Blanc

This Sauvignon Blanc shows more texture than those weaned on New Zealand will be used to. The nose shows melon, some grassiness, ripe tropical fruits, and some spice. The palate has a great mouthfeel with moderate acid and a flavor set of the full range of tropical fruits, melon, and a light grassiness on the finish to keep everything honest. D&M Tasting Notes

Ben Herod formerly of Oro en Paz, is the owner and winemaker of Nue Wilde, a new label from this esteemed veteran wine professional. He sources from organic vineyards and his approach is minimalistic which allows his wines to give the drinker a sense of place from where the grapes come from.
