The 2023 En Cigare, named for the cigar-shaped oak barrels in which this Sauvignon Blanc is both fermented and aged, offers a lush texture and captivating aromatics. Delicate floral notes of honeysuckle and jasmine mingle with hints of ginger, while layers of melon, grapefruit, and green apple create a vibrant core. Gentle oak influence, enhanced by extended lees contact, adds depth and balance to the wine, culminating in a rich, elegant finish with bright, refreshing acidity.
