Sauvignon Vert is the new denomination for the former Furlanski Tokaj ("Tocai Friulano"), which was renounced by Slovene wine producers in 2005 due to the Hungarians' victory over other users of the name. A light golden-straw wine with green highlights. The bouquet is intriguing, with notes of green melon, fresh apple, a hint of meadow herbs, and even a touch of mint. It's new and crisp on the palate, with zippy, lively acidity. There’s good fruit weight, reminiscent of green apple and melon, with hints of grapefruit and lemon zest and a sleek texture. The finish is mouth-watering and long.
