La Fontana Vecchia Sauvignon Blanc 2016
Undefined Romanian Region
For refreshing Sauvignon Blanc at a great value for money price, we’d thoroughly recommend La Fontana Vecchia. It should be no surprise as Romania has “some of Europe’s greatest cool climate vineyards” (Hugh Johnson). Try the lemony zip of this 2016.

In a world of French and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc it’s a real thrill to discover a new and delicious example from somewhere quite unexpected – Romania. La Fontana Vecchia is made by one of the country’s top talents, Lorena Deaconu, and her team of cellar assistants – their credentials include supplying wine to the Royal Court of Romania. King Michael would no doubt approve of this mouthwatering Sauvignon, the latest in a line of popular wines Lorena has made exclusively for us in the UK. It comes from the Colinele Dobrogei region between the River Danube and the Black Sea, where vines have been grown for centuries. With a mix of tropical fruit and citrus aromas, this wine makes a lovely apéritif, or a match for salads and seafood dishes.
