Aurore Albariño Sauvignon Blanc (Fautor) 2022 [Fautor Aurore Albariño Sauvignon Blanc] (Moldova / White / Citrus, Tropical Fruit)

■ Appearance: A brilliant pale straw yellow with vibrant green reflections.

■ Nose: An explosive aromatic burst of passionfruit, freshly cut grass, white peach, and zesty lime, underpinned by a subtle and refreshing saline minerality.

■ Palate: Crisp, energetic, and perfectly balanced. Sauvignon Blanc delivers a zesty, citrus tension, while Albarino rounds out the palate with juicy stone fruit and a mouthwatering saline finish.

An Unrivaled Blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Albarino
This unique blend marries the pungent aromatic intensity of Sauvignon Blanc with the textural, peach and mineral-driven profile of Albarino. Fautor is one of the few visionary producers to plant the Iberian Peninsula native Albarino in Moldovan soil, with startlingly fresh results.

The grapes are carefully hand-picked in the cool early mornings to protect their delicate profiles. They are then vinified separately by varietal in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve volatile aromas and raw fruity energy, before being expertly blended into the final Aurora cuvée.

Perfect Pairings for this Wine (the mouth-watering acidity and tropical, mineral profile make it ideal for fresh seafood, zesty salads, and lighter Asian cuisine):

• ■ Fresh Ceviche or White Fish Carpaccio: The wine's vibrant lime notes and saline character perfectly sync with citrus marinades, complementing the delicate flavors of raw fish.
• ■ Garlic Butter Prawns (Shrimp): The refreshing acidity cuts through the richness of butter and garlic, while the wine's tropical fruit character harmonizes beautifully with the sweet, savory prawns.
• ■ Goat Cheese and Mango Salad: Sauvignon Blanc effortlessly mellows the creamy tang of goat cheese, and the Albarino pairs beautifully with the sweet, tropical mango.

Serving Temperature: 8°C ~ 10°C (Enjoy the wine at this temperature to experience its true richness.)

Terroir of Valul lui Traian, Tigheci Microzone
The gently rolling Tigheci hills provide an outstanding environment for highly aromatic white grapes. The cool breezes and significant diurnal temperature variation slow down the ripening process, locking in the grapes' natural acidity and maximizing their intense, tropical aromatic profile.
