Torres Fransola Sauvignon Blanc

Wine information: Torres Fransola Sauvignon Blanc takes the name "Fransola" from an old country house close to La Llacuna in the Upper Penedès. It's at these altitudes of 550 metres where aromatic varieties can be grown, such as Sauvignon Blanc. Sauvignon Blanc forms the basis of this unique wine, partially fermented and aged in new American oak. At Fransola, a historical estate located in one of the highest areas of the Penedès, ice cold nights and mild days provide an excellent climate for growing vines, giving Torres the best Sauvignon Blanc and Parellada grapes (it has a small amount of Parellada in the blend, 95% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Parellada) which are used produce this elegant, balanced wine.

Tasting Notes: Torres Fransola Sauvignon Blanc has an intense, complex aroma of exotic fruit (passion fruit and green fig), delicately ennobled by fine notes of toast and vanilla (from the ageing in new French oak). It has a good balance in the mouth thanks to the wine's acidity, with floral notes that pleasantly linger mid-palate.

Food & Wine match: Torres Fransola Sauvignon Blanc is ideal with the very best fish and shellfish; also with light poultry dishes, asparagus, and lobster. Properly cellared this wine will improve over the next 3 - 5 years. Serve at 8-10ºC.
