Levin Sauvignon
2006, Vin dePays, Jardin de la France 2006
A state-of-the-art winery, organically farmed
vineyards (which are turning fully bio-dynamic),

in a wine that makes people sit up and take
note. This is a style of Sauvignon Blanc that
sits squarely between the traditional “flint”
of the Loire Valley and the fruit intensity
of New Zealand.
