From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

The Sauvignon Blanc vineyards of Monterre winery lie in the southern French sun. The white Sauvignon Blanc grapes are grown on a relatively elevated vineyard. This grape requires a bit more coolness, which is achieved by the fresh breeze blowing through the vineyards and the difference between day and night temperatures. Because the vineyard is situated at a higher elevation, it cools considerably in the evening, giving the grapes more freshness. This translates into the fresh and lively attack of this Monterre Sauvignon Blanc.

At the perfect ripeness, the Sauvignon Blanc is harvested in the early morning. This happens quite early in the season because the Monterre winemaker wants to preserve the beautiful freshness in this white wine. Well, they certainly succeeded, and it's truly a joy to drink. Upon arrival, the grapes are gently pressed, and the entire wine is aged for several months in steel vats in Monterre's cellars. Only when the wine is perfect and approved by the winemaker are the bottles of white wine bottled and sold.

A wonderfully vibrant aroma, because as soon as you open this Monterre, its beautiful, fresh bouquet emerges. A true Sauvignon Blanc aroma with hints of green apple, lime peel, and passion fruit. But also some nuances of grapefruit can be detected. On the palate, it's a refreshing wine with dry, refined tannins. Beautiful flavors of Granny Smith apple, citrus fruit, gooseberry, and a touch of passion fruit. This Sauvignon Blanc from Monterre is a truly refined wine, with a thirst-quenching finish, thanks in no small part to the Sauvignon Blanc grape! This white wine is often served as a house wine in the finest restaurants in the Netherlands.
