(2.25 litre bag in box) A fuller style compared to Sainsbury's House Sauvignon, probably due to it being aged for six months on its lees in stainless steel tanks. It has flavours of citrus and elderflower, with a hint of orange and stone fruit behind. There is acidity but it lacks typical Sauvignon cut, which gives this wine a rounder character than you might expect and highlights the residual sweetness.
