Viña Aliaga, “Doscarlos”, Navarra, Spain 2023
{organic} 100% Sauvignon Blanc
LIME & GRAPEFRUIT, CITRUS BLOSSOM & GINGER, NO OAK
In some previous vintages, Aliaga’s Sauvignon Blanc grapes have been harvested very ripe and aged in oak barrels, making for a rich but less distinct wine. More recently, they’ve turned 180º and made the wine with vibrant, mouthwatering grapes (conducive to healthy, refreshing acidity) while ditching the oak. The result is a complex and intriguing white that is exotic and comforting at once. A Wine Authorities exclusive!
Serving Suggestion: Boiled white asparagus drizzled with olive oil & sea salt. White bean soup with chorizo and piquillo peppers.
