Aurora Cuvée N Sauvignon Blanc 2024: A Crisp and Vibrant Lebanese White with Citrus and Mineral Elegance

Aurora Cuvée N Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is a refreshing dry white wine from Aoura in Batroun, North Lebanon, showcasing the bright aromatic character of Sauvignon Blanc grown at approximately 900 metres above sea level. Produced by the family-owned Aurora Winery, this distinctive wine pays tribute to the winemaker’s wife, Nathalie, whose appreciation for Sauvignon Blanc developed through visits to the renowned wine region of Sancerre. Made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc, it reflects the freshness of mountain-grown grapes and the winery’s careful approach to preserving natural fruit expression.

In the glass, it displays a bright green hue with subtle purple reflections. The nose is lively and aromatic, revealing fresh citrus, grapefruit, melon and gooseberry. On the palate, crisp acidity brings energy and freshness, complemented by flavours of lime, yellow fruit and delicate herbal nuances. Its medium-bodied structure and refreshing mineral character lead to a clean, zesty finish with lingering citrus notes.

The grapes are sourced from 15 to 20-year-old estate vines grown in Aoura. Harvested by hand, they are gently pressed and fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve their natural aromas and freshness. The wine is unoaked, allowing the purity of the Sauvignon Blanc fruit and the distinctive mineral character of its high-altitude vineyard to take centre stage. With limited production, Cuvée N offers an expressive interpretation of Lebanese white winemaking.

Serve well chilled at approximately 6 to 8°C to highlight its crisp acidity and aromatic freshness. It pairs beautifully with oysters, grilled fish, shrimp, delicate seafood and fresh green salads. Its citrus-driven profile also complements asparagus, zucchini, fresh herbs, pesto and tangy goat cheese. Enjoy it as an aperitif or alongside light Mediterranean dishes for a refreshing dining experience.

Whether enjoyed over a seafood lunch in Jumeirah Lakes Towers or shared during an evening on Al Raha Beach in Abu Dhabi, Aurora Cuvée N Sauvignon Blanc 2024 brings the fresh character of Lebanese mountain vineyards to the table.
