Wine Details

Description:
A blend of fruit from select Santa Barbara County vineyards results in a crisp wine with balance and finish. Foley’s winemakers choose to approach the Sauvignon Blanc in a barrique style, believing that barrel aging the wine fits the fruit profile perfectly. The wine was barrel fermented and then barrel aged for eight months in 10% new French oak and 90% seasoned French oak barrels. Barrel aging permits the wine to go through malolactic fermentation, which in turn provides a rich body and also helps bring forward increased tropical fruit flavors. Aromas of orange blossoms, citrus and peach linger in the nose. The body is balanced with a light buttery structure and firm acidity in the finish.
