Sauvignon Blanc, Suited to the Season

By HOWARD G. GOLDBERG
Published: April 26, 2013

Few vegetables are tougher to match with wine than green asparagus, which is synonymous with spring. My go-to white for the job is sauvignon blanc, because its characteristic aromas and flavors — commonly called green, herbal, herbaceous or vegetal — echo those of asparagus.

Mourvèdre grape a Paso Robles specialty

atsoukalidis: A fruity white Turkish wine from the Narince grape http://www.winesofturkey.org/narince/ This is a bright, clear pale lemon colour wine with green hues. Clean on the nose with medium intensity aromas displaying lemon, rose, honeysuckle, pear, red apple, wet wool and elderflower. Fully developed. Dry on the palate with medium- acidity, medium+ alcohol, medium- body and medium- flavour intensity displaying lemon, rose, honeysuckle, pear, red apple, and elderflower. Medium- length. Good quality wine with relatively short length, not impressive acidity, some sweet fruit intensity and concentration, and some flavor complexity. Good to drink now, not intended for further ageing.
