Wines made from Sauvignon grapes of Vinos de Pago
Discover the best wines made with Sauvignon as a single variety or as a blend of Vinos de Pago.
Rich, aromatic whites with a fuller mouth than Sauvignon Blanc and softer acidity, featuring aromas of yellow peach, melon, passion fruit, ripe citrus and delicate spicy notes. A grey-skinned mutation of Sauvignon Blanc, made as a rare single variety in Bordeaux (Pessac-Léognan, Graves), the Loire and Chile where it is experiencing a fine qualitative revival. Adds roundness to dry Bordeaux blends. French grape.
Top of the Spanish quality pyramid (above DOCa and DO), reserved for 25 exceptional estates. Estate wines, grapes and vinification exclusively on site, 10 years of track record. All styles: concentrated, barrel-aged Cabernet, Syrah and Tempranillo reds (Dominio de Valdepusa, Arínzano, Pago de Otazu), maker's blends, a few ambitious whites. Great stylistic freedom.
