Fresh & Easy’s ONEHOPE Sauvignon Blanc is a delicious, crisp dry white with flavors of passion fruit and guava. It’s medium-bodied, smooth and pairs perfectly with pasta. It has a long length and a very refreshing finish.

ONEHOPE Sauvignon Blanc Wine is the recipient of a Silver Medal at the 2008 Long Beach Grand Cru International Wine Competition. Fresh & Easy’s Master of Wine, Phil Reedman, worked closely with ONEHOPE Winemaker David Elliot to create this blend. The wine retails for $9.99 per 750 ml bottle.
