Fit Turkey Wrap

Place the bottle of 90+ Cellars Sauvignon Blanc in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving, or chill in an ice bucket with equal parts ice and water for 20–30 minutes. Target serving temperature: 45–50°F (7–10°C).

Chill

Using a clean corkscrew, remove the foil and open the bottle carefully. Wipe the rim with a clean cloth if needed.

Open

Pour into a white wine glass, filling to about one-third full (approximately 4–5 ounces / 120–150 ml) to allow the aromas to concentrate. Hold the glass by the stem to avoid warming the wine.

Pour

If desired, express a lemon twist over the glass to release citrus oils, or float a thin grapefruit slice or a couple of thin kiwi slices on the surface for an attractive accent that echoes the wine's flavors. These are optional and primarily for presentation — avoid overpowering the wine.

Optional Garnish

Smell the glass to note bright citrus, lemon zest, grapefruit and kiwi aromas. Take a small sip to experience the crisp acidity, lively fruit and subtle minerality. Allow the wine to linger on the palate, then enjoy subsequent pours as the bottle warms slightly and develops secondary aromas.

Taste & Enjoy

Pair this Sauvignon Blanc with light seafood (oysters, grilled prawns, ceviche), goat cheese, fresh salads with citrus-based dressings, or light Asian dishes with herbs and lime. Serve the recommended portion alongside the wine for best balance.
