Quincy

Sauvignon Blanc is the grape to know here.

The ground underneath is gravel, limestone and sand.

The climate is continental.

The vineyards themselves read as riverside.

Dry white wine is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows herbaceous notes, citrus characteristics and mineral backbone.

At the table these bottles work with seafood, grilled chicken, light salads and goat cheese.

Serve chilled.
