In the glass, it pours a pale straw-yellow color with shimmering, clean reflections. The nose is highly expressive and instantly charming, greeting you with a fragrant basket of fresh pink grapefruit, juicy honeydew melon, and lime zest, subtly woven with delicate notes of white pear and a fresh hint of green grass. On the palate, it avoids the sharp, enamel-stripping bite common in some cool-climate whites. Instead, the winemaking team allows the juice to rest on its fine lees in stainless steel vats, a traditional method that imparts a subtle, velvety roundness and a beautifully smooth texture. This perfectly cradles the wine’s natural, lively acidity before gliding into a clean, crisp finish highlighted by a refreshing kiss of sea-breeze salinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Martignetti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46984070496303,"sku":"xrq1792018664472","price":12.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/0895\/9535\/files\/bernier-val-de-loire-sauvignon-blanc_1.png?v=1792018670","url":"https:\/\/capsulewardrobeshop.shop\/products\/bernier-val-de-loire-sauvignon-blanc","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
