Guarda Rios Sauvignon Blanc


Country: Portugal

Region: Alentejo

Grapes: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Alcohol: 12.5%


Winemaker's notes: Guarda-rios is the name for the Kingfisher bird that populates the estate's water courses and cooler vineyard microclimates. Alentejo’s cooler coastal plains, stretch from Zambujeira do Mar to Vila Nova de Milfontes inspire innovative winemakers to craft vibrant Sauvignon Blancs like Guarda Rios. 


Tasting notes: Clear, citrus-yellow appearance, intense aromas of tropical fruits (such as passion fruit) mixed with citrus peel (lime zest) and subtle green/vegetal undertones (green pepper), fresh palate with good body, clean acidity, and a light mineral finish.


Pairing:  Grilled shrimp, garlic prawns, pan-seared scallops, steamed mussels, or raw oysters with a squeeze of lemon. Lightly grilled white fish, clams in garlic, olive oil, and cilantro. Chicken piccata, herb-roasted poultry, or pasta tossed in a pesto sauce. Fresh goat cheese, feta, or young ricotta.


Our Price: $11.00

Winery notes: Lot 179 Pinot Noir from California reflects the best of the Pacific coast with its brilliant fruit, smooth texture and delicate mouthfeel.


Warm sunny days mixed with marine-induced fog and cool nights make California among the most suitable regions in the world for this early ripening grape variety.


Tasting notes: An easy-drinking fresh California Pinot Noir with notes of blueberries and raspberries that burst on the palate alongside oak spice and bramble. The wine is dry, with a round, smooth mouthfeel and bright acidity.
