Tasting Notes
The Oereinos Helios 2019 from Semelis estate has a pale yellow colour with greenish hues.
On the nose it’s aromatic, reminiscent of a young gewürtztraminer with rose and lychee, there is white peach and wet stone but also a mediterranean touch with basil.
On the palate it’s light body, round and mineral with a nice integrated acidity.
The finish is medium with notes of bitter almond.

Sauvignon blanc
Green-skinned grape variety that originates from the Bordeaux region of France
Sauvignon blanc is a green-skinned grape variety indigenous to France’s Bordeaux region. Due to its early origins as an indigenous grape in South West France, the grape’s name is most likely derived from the French words sauvage (“wild”) and blanc (“white”). It’s believed to be a descendant of Savagnin. Sauvignon blanc is a crisp, dry, and refreshing white varietal wine grown in many wine regions around the world. The grape is also used in the popular Sauternes and Barsac dessert wines. Sauvignon blanc is grown extensively in France, Chile, Romania, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Bulgaria, and the United States’ states of Washington and California. Some Sauvignon blancs from the New World, especially those from California, are referred to as “Fumé Blanc,” a marketing term coined by Robert Mondavi to refer to Pouilly-Fumé.
