2021 T’AIR D’OC Sauvignon Blanc Domaine Gayda
IGP Oc Languedoc-Roussillon France 12.5% White
Sauvignon Blanc. Vegan
Firm green fruit and pithy notes on both nose and palate. Fresh with good acidity. From one of the coolest parts of the Languedoc, so this Sauvignon has a refreshing grip that Languedoc Sauvignons often lack.

Kakheti Georgia 13% White
Rkatsiteli.
Not much nose but a clear mid-amber colour. Good fruit attack with a suggestion of sour plums before quite a bit of astringency that’s not excessive. Smoky finish. Very pleasing.
