Sauvignon Blanc - Three Continents, Four Countries

 

Three wines stood out for different qualities:

The 2021 Beyond Sauvignon Blanc, especially great value for the money for a very low price expressed in a decisive food-friendly acid cut.

The 2022 Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc a smoother more balanced wine also at a very good price. 

The 2021 Domaine Henry Pelle Menetou from the Loire for its depth and richness. We actually had a 2020 at the tasting but the equally good 2021 will follow.
