The grapes for this Sauvignon Blanc come form 17-year-old vines located in Penn Valley, CA. The vines are manually cared for. Organic sulfur (cosavet) is used to keep mildew off. The grapes are hand-picked, transferred to our winery in Nevada City and carefully sorted. The ‘must’ (juice) is kept in contact with the grape skin for 24 hours before being gently pressed and transferred into neutral French Oak barrels for a ‘natural’ and long fermentation at a constant 54 F. The wine was bottled 9 months after. On the bouquet, this wine offers tropical fruit, lemongrass, pear, peaches, apples, pineapple, freshly ground white pepper, citrus blossoms. On the palate, it is long, round, and refreshing. Great minerality, balanced, and very long.

Possible pairing food: Seafood of all sorts, creamy pastas, and appetizers, or on its own, chilled.
