2023 Weingut Pflüger Sauvignon Blanc 'Fossilis'

From the cool hills of the Pfalz in Germany, the Weingut Plüger Sauvignon Blanc strikes a nice balance between the mineral intensity of something like Sancerre, with the overt fruitiness of New Zealand. Opening with notes of unripe guava and passionfruit along with a salty mineral streak, the palate is ripe and rich with blistering acidity, making for a compelling white that will suit many palates.

A ripe Sauvignon like the Fossilis will pair well with soft Loire goat cheeses like Chèvre, richer seafood preparations like Bouillabaise with Rouille or Lobster Thermidore.
