Tasting notes
Spicy and exuberant, the 2013 Sauvignon Blanc Vieris makes itself known with a bouquet that blends lemon zests, rosemary and sage, with sour, green melon and smoky crushed stone. This impresses further with its elegant, medium-weight textures and a vibrant display of citrus-tinged orchard fruits and the salty minerals that usher in. It’s wonderfully perfumed throughout, pleasantly ripe in character, but also full of energy. The 2013 tapers off persistent with saline tension and hints of tart young pineapple that keep the mouth watering for more. This is a simply stunning, totally complete Sauvignon Blanc that will only get better over time.

The 2013 Friuli Isonzo Rive Alte Sauvignon Blanc Vieris Sauvignon is a spectacular wine that delivers explosive intensity to those who (like me) adore the Sauvignon Blanc grape, especially when interpreted in northeast Italy. The interesting fact here is that Vieris Sauvignon has the depth and richness to create a long-lasting and compelling mouthfeel. This wine is aged in oak. A creamy consistency is followed by peach, citrus, almond and dried herb. "Gorgeous" is the only word that comes to mind.
