Loire Shine: Olema Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Tasting Notes

Bright straw‑green in the glass. Aromas lift with spearmint, wintergreen, lemon zest, jasmine blossom, gooseberry and whispers of green melon and ginseng. The palate is sleek and linear—white peach skin, citrus, grapefruit, green apple and chalky mineral drive. Crisp acidity and wet‑stone tension make for a refreshing, clean finish that’s virtually thirst-quenching.
