2023 Sauvignon Blanc
Lake County

Tasting Notes

This bright Sauvignon Blanc boasts expressive tropical aromas with hints of fresh cut grass. As the wine opens there are floral citrus and caramelized pineapple notes. On the palate, you’ll taste Meyer lemon and clean, refreshing acidity. This lighter bodied wine is perfect for pairing with fresh flavors.

Winemaking Notes

The grapes were picked at night so the cold weather would keep the skins from breaking. Then we pressed the grapes under nitrogen gas to prevent any oxidation from occurring, which can effect the bright natural flavors and aromas of sauvignon blanc. Once the juice settled, we racked the clear juice to a new tank and fermented for 10 days with yeast native to the Bordeaux region on France.

Aging

This wine was then held in stainless tanks before bottling to allow for as little oxygen exposure as possible.

This sauvignon blanc will age beautifully until 2028.

Food Pairing

Sauvignon blanc pairs beautifully with herby sauces over chicken, fish, or tofu dishes, or bright Asian flavors such as Thai Curry, Vietnamese, or Sushi. In the spring and summer, pair with light appetizers and first courses, including goat cheese with fresh herbs, salads with citrus dressing, shrimp, crudo, ceviche, and fresh fruit. For your cheese course, soft, fresh cheeses are ideal to complement the brightness of this wine.

Pair this wine with Chef Lisa Scott's Corn, Shrimp and Citrus Salad for a real summer treat!
