There is something especially inviting about enjoying a crisp white wine on a beautiful Florida afternoon. I had the opportunity to sample Tango Real’s Sauvignon Blanc while meeting with Juan Pombo of Tango Real at Vino! on Park Avenue in Winter Park, Florida.
Park Avenue is such a charming place to meet friends, browse lovely shops, and enjoy a glass of wine. We spent a relaxed afternoon talking about Tango Real wines with Rhonda, the owner of Vino!, whose warm hospitality made the tasting all the more enjoyable. We even had a little fun taking photos inside and outside the shop, much to the amusement of people passing by.
Tango Real is the U.S. operation for Goyenechea Winery and Vineyards, founded in 1868 in Mendoza, Argentina. According to Tango Real, the 2008 Sauvignon Blanc featured in this tasting was made primarily with Sauvignon Blanc grapes, blended with a small amount of Chenin Blanc. The grapes came from the winery’s own vineyards in Mendoza.
The result is a white wine that is light, bright, and refreshing. I found it crisp and lively without being sweet, which is exactly what I enjoy in a chilled white wine.
This is the kind of wine I would reach for on a warm day, whether friends are stopping by, lunch is being served outside, or dinner includes seafood or pasta. It is also lovely as an aperitif before a meal.
For the best experience, serve it well chilled. Tango Real recommended a serving temperature of approximately 50 to 54 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tango Real Sauvignon Blanc is an easy, refreshing wine for relaxed occasions and warm-weather entertaining.
