Thierry Delaunay ‘Manoir’ Sauvignon Blanc 2022/23, Touraine

Description

The Loire is Sauvignon Blanc’s homeland. So it’s no surprise that Loire native Thierry Delaunay is passionate about the grape. Decades of family winemaking in the region means he has the pick of the crop when it comes to choosing grapes for his wines. He looks for the best grapes from the best pockets of vines in Touraine – and the results speak for themselves. This Sauvignon is seriously refreshing, seriously citrusy, and seriously good value. You’ll find nothing finer to pair with a goat’s cheese tart. And its more restrained flavour profile – less ripe and fruity than the standard Kiwi Sauvignon – makes it a perfect party wine. In 2022, this wine won an IWC award for the 2021 vintage.
