Montes Sauvignon Blanc
Chef Sam Says...
A clear, crispy and fruity wine with light yellow-green color, bright and transparent. Selected grapes picked to show the best varietal aromas and fruit. Extremely attractive tropical fruits and grassy due to the cool Casablanca climate. A fresh, crispy light, happy wine to the palate!
