Van Loveren Absolute Zero Dry Sparkling Wine

Van Loveren Absolute Zero Dry Sparkling Wine uit Robertson, Zuid Afrika. Lush aromas of honey, fresh fruit and nougat. The taste is balanced and has a velvety finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay are the two best-known white grape varieties. However, the Sauvignon Blanc is drier in flavor compared to the Chardonnay. The Sauvignon Blanc is planted in climates that are not too hot. This is necessary to maintain its fresh taste. For several years, the Sauvignon Blanc has also been planted in somewhat colder Germany. Yet you see a lot of Sauvignon Blanc from the warm New World countries, this is because they are planted in the famous “Cool Climate” areas where the vineyards are at altitude and the temperature differences between day and night are large. The finest Sauvignon Blancs come from the Loire region of France. This is where, for example, the Pouilly-Fumé found its origin. This wine owes its name to the soil in which the vines grow. This is because the soil consists of flint and pebbles. The Loire has other soils such as: granite, tuft, limestone and lead stone. These different soils are probably a result of the ice age.
