Sauvignon Blanc
Sphera White Concepts Sauvignon Blanc 2020
Drink now or cellar for up to 5 years. Serve well chilled.
Sphera is one of the only Israeli wineries to specialise in white wine production thanks to founder Doron Rav Hon’s winemaking experience in Burgundy and Champagne. Doron and his wife Sima founded their unique winery in the Judean Hills and have planted their vineyards in the valleys of Givat Yeshayahu. The couple quickly realised that this area offers perfect growing conditions for white wines thanks to the cool breezes blowing along the Shua strea and cold air that sinks to the valley floor at night.
These factors help to moderate the hot, sunny Mediterranean climate and allow Sphera to create sensational white wines with plenty of grace and elegance. This Sauvignon Blanc is grown on stony and terra rossa or iron-rich “red soils” which further enhance the elegance and give a subtle minerality to the wine.
In the winery Doron has a philosophy of minimal intervention, allowing nature to take the lead wherever possible. This bottling is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks for 7 months to showcase the natural beauty of the Sauvignon Blanc. Ripe peaches, melon and zingy lime define the nose along with hints of freshly-cut grass and dried herbs. On the palate there’s a refreshing acidity, smooth texture and very clean finish that makes this a great choice to serve as an aperitif.
