Note di degustazione
Lots of white grapefruit, mint, green Jolly Rancher, and tart peach emerge from the 2017 Sauvignon Blanc, another terrific white from this estate. Possessing medium body, notable concentration, and bright acidity, it’s going to be versatile on the dinner table and keep for 3-4 years.

The 2017 Linea, Favia's 100% Sauvignon Blanc, is especially hushed in this vintage, with less of the textural intensity it so often shows. Orchard fruit and floral notes are nicely woven together in this attractive, polished, if somewhat understated Sauvignon.
The 2017 Sauvignon Blanc Linea (62% Clone 1 and 38% Musqué) is whole-cluster pressed, fermented in neutral oak and stainless steel and made without malolactic fermentation. It leaps from the glass with passion fruit, fresh pineapple and green mango scents with hints of elderflower, chalk dust and yuzu zest. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers an electric current of tropical fruits with a racy acid line and long, vivacious finish. 160 cases produced.
