Tasting notes:
Le Peewit Suavignon Gris. In the glass, it shows a pale-yellow hue with subtle green reflections. The nose is vibrant and intensely aromatic, bursting with citrus and grapefruit, lifted by notes of pineapple and vine peach. On the palate, it is fresh and lively, with beautifully balanced acidity and a long, elegant finish.
Food match:
Perfect with grilled fish, roast chicken or light salads.

An early-ripening variety, Sauvignon Gris is harvested at night in early September, when cooler temperatures help preserve its delicate aromatics. The grapes undergo cold maceration to draw out their expressive varietal character, followed by gentle pneumatic pressing to maintain the purity of the juice. Fermentation is carried out slowly at low temperatures in stainless-steel tanks, and the wine is then aged for four months on fine lees before bottling.
