A Deep Dive into the Glass

• Colour: The first impression is a captivating light straw hue, hinting at the wine’s refreshing nature.
• Aroma: As you swirl the glass, a symphony of aromas unfolds. Inviting notes of citrus fruits, such as grapefruit and zesty lime, take centre stage. Hints of gooseberry and passion fruit add a touch of intrigue, while subtle herbal hints like lemongrass provide a refreshing counterpoint.
• Palate: The first sip delivers a burst of freshness, thanks to the wine’s lively acidity. The medium body offers a satisfying weight on the palate, without being overpowering. The initial citrus flavours from the nose translate beautifully, mingling with hints of tropical fruit and stone fruit for a delightful complexity. A touch of minerality adds a subtle textural element, leaving a clean and crisp finish.

Food Pairings to Elevate Your Experience

The Camina Sauvignon Blanc’s versatility makes it a fantastic companion for a variety of dishes. Here are some suggestions to tantalise your taste buds:

• Seafood: The wine’s acidity pairs wonderfully with the delicate flavours of seafood. Consider pairing it with fresh oysters, grilled prawns, or a light fish dish like sea bass with lemon and herbs.
• Salads: Salads bursting with fresh ingredients like leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumber, and feta cheese find a perfect match in this Sauvignon Blanc. The wine’s crispness cuts through the richness of creamy dressings, making it a refreshing accompaniment.
• Goats’ Cheese: The tangy flavours of goats’ cheese create a delightful harmony with the Camina Sauvignon Blanc. Enjoy a platter of assorted goats’ cheeses with crusty bread and a drizzle of honey for a truly satisfying combination.
• Vegetarian Options: This wine shines alongside vegetarian dishes. Pair it with a summer vegetable risotto, a creamy goat cheese and roasted pepper tart, or a vibrant Thai green vegetable curry.
• Spicy Food: The Camina Sauvignon Blanc’s acidity can help tame the heat of spicy dishes. Enjoy it with Thai curries, Indian curries with lighter sauces (e.g., korma), or Mexican fajitas.
