For this wine two parcels of Sauvignon Blanc and Rolle (the traditional French name for Vermentino) were selected from the sun-drenched vineyards of southern France. Their position, on alluvial sand and silt, encourages the vines to root deep into the soil, finding the water they need to sustain them during the long, hot summers. Each plot is harvested in the cooler early mornings and the Sauvignon Blanc is always harvested a few weeks before the later ripening Rolle. Both varieties then undergo cold maceration in stainless steel tanks, followed by gentle pressing and alcoholic fermentation on fine lees (at a temperature of 16-18°C) to bring out the creamy texture of the Rolle, which perfectly balances the freshness of the Sauvignon Blanc.
Pasquiers Sauvignon V, Pays d’Oc wine is a deliciously refreshing change from straight Sauvignon Blanc. A wonderful and innovative blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Vermentino from Southern France. Luscious exotic fruit aromas from the Vermentino are balanced by the clean, zingy fruit of Sauvignon, resulting in a wonderfully aromatic smooth dry white. Best served chilled and ideal as an aperitif, but also complements seafood such as mussels and chicken dishes. The exotic flavours also complement Chinese and other oriental dishes.
