Torres Fransola Sauvignon Blanc D.O. Penedés

Sauvignon Blanc by Torres from Penedés, Spain. 95% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Parellada, grapes from which the wine is made, are vinified separately and later blended. Half is fermented in wood and then the wine undergoes a short 6-month aging in American oak barrels. The other half is fermented and aged on stainless steel vats. This wine comes from a Single Vineyard and has a rich, fruity (passion fruit and melon) bouquet and a full long finish in which one recognizes the flavor of asparagus.
