{"product_id":"2024-el-desperado-sauvignon-blanc","title":"2024 El Desperado Sauvignon Blanc","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur first ever Vintage of El Desperado was 2011, and will always be known in Australian wine history as the vintage from hell, as many vineyards succumb to the wet summer. For the Pawn, I sacrificed making our full range of wines that year to create a brand new style wine. Although I did not set out to make the El Desperado before that vintage, when you taste this wine, by hell you will be glad I did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Sauvignon Blanc is made from grapes sourced from our Langhorne Creek vineyard. It erupts with aromas of lush ripe passion fruit, citrus \u0026amp; stone fruits on the nose. The palate shows moist grapefruits, lime pie and lychees with a long textured finish and a delicate mineral edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety trivia:\u003c\/strong\u003e With this wine we do not want to play in the herbal, grassy cat-pee style sandpit, ‘I’ve just mowed the lawn’, cat-pee on a gooseberry bush, sweaty man’s armpit style, rather we have made a wine with a balanced palate exhibiting a strong varietal style with fresh restrained acidity and that inimitable Adelaide Hills elegance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChess Trivia:\u003c\/strong\u003e In chess, El Desperado is a doomed pawn that seems determined to give itself up to bring about a stalemate when captured, a pawn that is as good as dead and so sets out to do as much damage as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGoes best with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hot Days, warm nights, cool music - may I suggest\u003cbr\u003ehttps:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/0k6I7N9DJC1BFATS59VHQ8?si=7594ad703ff64bc8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.9%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eT.A.:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.72\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Pawn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53113556926831,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/8605\/2719\/files\/El-Desperado-Sauvignon-Blanc-2023-WEB-RESIZE-e1730258520547_2b5cebc4-4989-43e6-a118-02b51d8d1944.png?v=1781581463","url":"https:\/\/www.thepawn.com.au\/products\/2024-el-desperado-sauvignon-blanc","provider":"The Pawn Wine Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
