Description:
Our Sauvignon blanc has a brilliantly clear, beautifully pale color with slight hints of
green. Cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks has preserved the fresh flavors, vivid
aromatics and brisk acidity, underlain with hints of flinty minerality. The bright acidity
on the palate makes the wine lively and provides a refreshing, long lasting, satisfying
finish. A delicious accompaniment to shellfish, poultry, line fish and mild pasta dishes,
this wine will brighten any celebration. Or, enjoy a cold glass on the patio, on a warm
summers day – and wonder!

Varietal Definition
Sauvignon Blanc:
Sauvignon Blanc is widely grown in California — at over 15,000 acres, it’s now the third most planted variety — and often assumes the moniker ‘Fume Blanc’. This popular synonym, credited to Napa’s Robert Mondavi, derives from the grape’s historic home of Pouilly in France’s Upper Loire Valley, where Sauvignon Blanc is the dominant varietal and goes locally by the name of ‘Blanc Fumé’. When treated with respect and afforded suitable growing conditions, Sauvignon Blanc is one of the wine world’s darlings. Steely, racy acidity, green, gooseberry fruit, asparagus and a grassy, herbaceous character characterize dry wines made from this grape.
