🍷 Tasting Notes
This is not your average Sauvignon Blanc.
“Trohé” opens with a surprising depth—lime leaf, green melon, lemongrass, and the salinity of sea spray. As it warms, layers of white peach, flint, and wild herbs emerge. It dances between brightness and tension—never sharp, always expressive.
Think mountain air over citrus groves—a wine that resets your energy, not just your palate.
The mouthfeel is focused and linear, with bracing acidity and a chalky, electric finish.

🍽️ Food Pairing
A wine this energetic calls for fresh, vibrant, herbaceous pairings:
Scallop ceviche with lime + cilantro
Herbed goat cheese + fig crackers
Avocado toast with radish and microgreens
Grilled shrimp skewers with chimichurri
Thai lemongrass chicken or green papaya salad
At S.X. House, we’d serve this with:
🥗 Green apple, fennel & mint salad — a cool match to its mineral edge.
🎶 Sonic Seasoning
Bright, crisp, and slightly ethereal—just like the wine:
Nao – “Another Lifetime”
Jordan Rakei – “Mind’s Eye”
Yuna – “Forevermore”
Jungle – “Back on 74”
Think shimmering synths, soulful vocals, and music that breathes between the lines.
🪶 Reflection (Quill Section)
“Trohé” means truth in Mapudungun—the language of Chile’s indigenous Mapuche people. This wine lives up to its name: honest, terroir-driven, and rooted in something deeper than trend.
🍇 Let this bottle remind you: clarity is powerful, and brightness can be grounded. You don’t have to choose between depth and light.
