Haut Poitou Sauvignon Blanc 'La Croix l'Abbe' 2019

Fantastic value Sauvignon Blanc from the Haut Poitou region which lies in the southeast of the Loire Valley north of Poitiers. The wine is bursting with fresh green fruit aromas, citrus, and a lovely herbaceous note. This is a lovely take on Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc, super tasty and amazing value.
