Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pale lemon with a slight green tinge, bright and clear in the glass.
Aroma: Classic Sauvignon Blanc aromas of citrus peel, passionfruit, and freshly cut grass, with subtle hints of elderflower.
Flavour: The palate opens with juicy citrus—lime and grapefruit—then moves into more exotic notes of guava and pineapple. A mineral streak adds depth, and the finish is clean and dry.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium-bodied with vibrant acidity. Crisp and mouthwatering, making it extremely food-friendly.
Food Pairings
Mission Sud Sauvignon Blanc is tailor-made for pairing with fresh, bright dishes. It works wonderfully with tangy goat’s cheese—whether served simply on a cheeseboard or melted into a salad. The wine’s crisp acidity cuts through rich dishes like creamy risotto or pasta with lemon butter sauce.
Seafood is a natural match. Try it with grilled prawns, baked cod with herbs, or classic moules marinières for a French-inspired evening. It also plays well with sushi and lightly spiced Asian dishes such as Thai green curry or Vietnamese spring rolls.
For vegetarians, the wine’s citrus and herbal notes pair beautifully with green vegetables—think asparagus, courgette, or pea-based dishes. A summer tart loaded with feta, spinach, and mint would be an ideal match.
No need for a fancy occasion—this wine is just as happy next to a roast chicken sandwich on a sunny day. However you serve it, Mission Sud Sauvignon Blanc brings a welcome freshness to the table.
