Our Sauvignon Blanc aims to layer the minerality we love in wines from Europe with the great fruit character we are blessed with in California. We achieve this by fermenting about a third of the wine in older French oak barrels to gain some weight and a delicate “dusting” of vanilla while fermenting the rest in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness. When released, the wine shows ample tropical fruit and floral characters, balanced by a lively acidity. As it ages over the next few years, some honey and apple pie character will start developing, adding richness and depth to the wine
We always recommend you serve the wine chilled but not too cold, somewhere around 55°F is cold enough. Paired with a fresh green salad with fennel shavings and succulent ruby grapefruit sections or with your favorite fresh seafood (we just love it with Sashimi or a spicy Thai dish), this wine has proved to be quite versatile in pairing with imaginative cuisine.
