FAUSTINO

Faustino VII Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Trust your Taste

Apple, peach and passionfruit give this Sauvignon Blanc a clear, fruit-led character. Its moderate weight makes it an inviting white to try with a simple meal. Choose it if you enjoy familiar fruit flavours without a heavy texture.

How this wine feels

This should feel fairly light, with very little grip and a balanced fresh edge. Fruit leads the middle and finish. The structural estimates are less certain than for wines with fuller texture notes.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
