Description:
This wine was hand harvested at the beginning of October from the Len Crispino Vineyard located in Beamsville. The nose is inviting with obvious gooseberry and elderberry notes. The palate is crisp and clean with great roundness and length. This wine can be paired with chicken, oysters and scallops or enjoyed on a warm summer day with friends.

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.
