Grillo Iole 2019 Sauvignon IL
Tasting Note
Made from a selection of late harvest Sauvignon grapes and aged for longer in old casks. The colour is less straw yellow and more golden in the glass. Due to the later harvest, the more green classic notes of Sauvignon are lessened and replaced with more exotic stones fruits and rich floral nuances. The aging also imbues the wine with a backbone of spices, vanilla and toasty notes that are never excessive and simply add to the roundness and overall complexity of the wine. Although it is more structured, there remains a balancing acidic lift and freshness. As with all of Grillos wines, there is real elegance here. This is a truly delicious late harvest white.
