Description

Bright, crisp and fresh. The flavors and aromas are reminiscent of peaches, ripe pear, lime and grapefruit, accented by floral and tropical fruit notes. Medium-bodied, with a lengthy finish. The Sauvignon blanc grapes are treated using two different methods. To enhance the delicate tropical fruit flavors, a portion of the fruit goes directly into the press as whole clusters. The remaining fruit is de-stemmed and left in contact with the skins for several hours before pressing, amplifying the grapefruit/citrus components. All of the juice is fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks using a variety of yeast strains selected to bring out the aroma and flavor profiles of Sauvignon Blanc.
