Sauvignon Blanc
This wine features a blend of Sauvignon Blanc grapes from young and old vines.
Tasting Notes
Pale yellow in hue. This 100% Sauvignon Blanc opens with a bright nose of guava and melon that follows through to the palate alongside flavors of passionfruit. The finish is well-balanced with bright acidity.
Vineyards
Higher elevations and Lake County’s pure air allow for greater levels of UV light, as much as 10% more than neighboring sea level valleys. Situated above the northeast shores of Clear Lake in Lake County, this distinct growing area is defined by steep mountain ridges rising up to 3000 feet directly from this hanging valley’s floor at 1700 feet.
The grapes were harvested in September of 2023 from Lake County. The vintage experienced moderate rainfall and warm conditions. The vineyard is located approximately 1,360 feet in elevation, at the foot of Mount Konocti – an ancient volcano that is a landmark in the region.
Winemaking
The wine was fermented for four months in 100% stainless steel.
