Calvet Varietals Sauvignon Blanc 2019 75cl
★★★★★ 5.0 (1 review)Pop this cold and the first sip does the talking. Bright lemon, a hit of pineapple, then a clean dry finish that leaves your mouth watering for the next one. It's the white you grab when you want something lively but not sweet, the kind that makes a Friday plate of grilled prawns or a quiet glass on the balcony feel a little more sorted. Zippy, fruity, dry as you like. We'll have it at your door before the ice melts.
Stick your nose in and you get white flowers, ripe pineapple and tropical fruit, with a fresh citrus lift sitting underneath. The sip is rounder than you'd expect for something this dry, juicy and a touch crunchy, all lemon and green-apple snap held up by lively acidity. No oak, no sweetness, just clean fruit and a crisp mineral edge that keeps it honest. It finishes dry and tidy, which is exactly why your glass empties faster than planned.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Maison Calvet, a French house that's been at the wine game since 1818, so they've had a couple of centuries to figure out a good bottle. The grapes are Sauvignon Blanc grown in the Pays d'Oc, the sun-soaked sweep of Languedoc-Roussillon down in southern France, on clay-limestone soils that give the wine its fresh backbone. It's made in steel rather than oak barrels, which is the whole point: nothing gets in the way of that clean, fruity character.
