Penascal Sauvignon Blanc 2003

Castilla-Leon, SpainSpanish Sauvignon is catching on. Look for a grassy, grapefruit rind, mineral, passionfruit nose wrapped up in a Euro-dry, elegant, fresh, clean style with mineral, green apple skin, grassy, grapefruit flavours. This is solid sauvignon albeit in a slightly austere, crisp style but its balanced. Try with clams or oysters. Good value. Consistent, tasted twice this year.Tasted: 29 November 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
