Tasting notes
Notes of lemon grass, white peach and marzipan combine
with a hint of thyme to form the intriguing aromatic profile of
this wine. Flavors of Kiwi fruit, lime zest and grapefruit are
the foundation that leads to a bright finish with flinty minerality.

Soil
Alluvial river deposits. Well drained sandy soils with underlying grave deposits.
Vinification
Manually harvested at night and in the cool mornings to
insure the fruit delivered to the winery arrives at a
temperature of 50°F or cooler. The grapes are immediately
pressed using a gentle bladder press. The freshly pressed
juice is then cold fermented in stainless steel tanks. In order
to preserve the aromatic complexities of the fruit, this
Sauvignon Blanc does not undergo malo-lactic fermentation.
After fermentation the wine is aged sur-lie in stainless steel
tanks to add complexity and round out the mouth feel.
