Van loveren blanc de blanc - 750ml
Chardonnay – Sauvignon Blanc is a blend which, although not often talked about, is used extensively throughout the wine world. Both Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc (which originate from Burgundy and the Loire respectively) are well-traveled varieties, which have been welcomed by both Old World and New World winegrowers. While their most famous incarnations are single-variety wines, the two are often combined to produce inexpensive table wine.
The two grape varieties traditionally produce very different styles of wine; Chardonnay being rich, round and buttery, while Sauvignon Blanc is more fresh, aromatic and zingy. Somewhat surprisingly then, this non-traditional blend is produced almost as widely as the varieties’ plantings. It crops up in France (particularly Cheverny), various parts of Italy, Spain, Israel, California, Australia, Chile and South Africa, for example, and with wide-ranging results.
Tasting NotesThe fruity character of the Colombar, combined with the grassiness of Sauvignon Blanc creates a harmonious, delightfully quaffable wine with fruity nose and a dry palate.
