2024 Sauvignon Blanc

These Sauvignon Blanc grapes are sourced from the Chiles Valley AVA, which is a long, skinny, high-elevation area with more vinyeard than wineries. The location of this vineyard experiences heat during the day, which allows the grapes to ripen, providing bright tones on the nose and the palate. At night, the vineyard cools off dramatically, preserving the natural acidity, and contributing to the freshness of this varietal.The grapes were hand harvested at night, and whole cluster pressed. The juice was fermented and aged on the lees ('residual yeast') in stainless steel for six months. This contributes additional texture, body, and mouthfeel to the final wine.This Sauvignon Blanc opens with aromas of juicy stone fruits, lychee and gooseberry, balanced with ripe lime and hints of sweet pineapple. On the palate, the citrus and tropical aromas are consistent with the aromas, and it displays racing acidity on the palate, with a bright finish.
