Avantis Sauvignon Blanc
Description
Avantis Sauvignon Blanc is a special wine produced from 100 per cent Sauvignon Blanc variety according to the state of the art technology. This pale lemon-green elixir irresistibly invites you for enjoyment with its explosively intense colour and astonishing aroma. With 20 awards of participation (including gold medals from Thessaloniki International Wine Competition 2015) it proves once again the greatness of Greek viticulture.
Aroma
Avantis Sauvignon Blanc whisks you away into a tropical realm, with aromas of grapefruit and lime mingling with more exotic fruits such as ripe mango and passion fruit. Pear and peach notes lend a fruit basket quality, while lemongrass, mint and freshly mown grass give it a sense of place.
Taste
Here is an explosion of flavours on the palate where a fruity profile dominates, with pronounced acidity creating an exuberant fruitiness, while the aftertaste develops into a bewitching complexity. A kaleidoscopic odyssey of flavours unfolds with each sip: from lively citrus notes to more subtle herbal notes; a long, harmonious and rewarding finish.
Expansion
Elevate Avantis Sauvignon Blanc to its full potential by examining its Old World roots. Fermented in oak barrels during vinification, the wine’s depth, body, and aromatic richness meld into a product that courageously explores the faraway, mysterious reaches of Greek winemaking.
Pairings
This versatile white wine pairs well with almost anything. Enjoy it with lightly seasoned, fresh seafood such as grilled shrimp or a citrus-infused ceviche to highlight its crisp acidity, with simple, leafy salads, creamy cheeses, or spicy, aromatic Thai food, to celebrate an eclectic palate.
Conclusion
Sauvignon Blanc is a true ambassador for the wonderful terroir and winemaking tradition of Greece. Its exuberant fruitiness, racy precision and perfect craftsmanship are characteristic of the very best of modern Greek white wines. Whether beautifully chilled as an aperitif or served with food, it will uplift any occasion and delight the senses. Let’s welcome the honeyed, orange-zest flavours of Avantis Sauvignon Blanc: a gift from the land of Greece. Prost!
