"The most electric rendition of the La Carrera range is the 2024 La Carrera Sauvignon Blanc, hailing from clay topsoils over calcareous gravels. It spent five days on its skins before fermenting in foudre and aging for 12 months. The nose is striking in its vivid, herbal profile, and it's further energized by crystalline citrus aromas and the stony overtones that define the range. A slender, lively, mouthwatering palate seamlessly flows into a chiseled finish that recalls the nose's chalky, herbal character."
