Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The nose is extremely aromatic and has a mélange of fruit and herbal notes – guava, freshly mowed hay, green apple, tarragon and linden flowers. In the mouth, bright flavors of green melon, elderberry, pear and kiwi are balanced by a long, full and pleasingly dry, flinty finish.
Blend
86% Sauvignon Blanc 46-year old heirloom clone Block 3, 14% Sauvignon Gris
Winemaker Notes
This year our 46-year Old Vine Sauvignon Blanc had 40% lower yields which greatly contributed to aromatics and fruit concentration. We love how expressive the Old Vine heritage clone comes through so clearly in this wine, with its distinctive hint of earthiness and exotic fruit aroma. Grown on richer, loamier soils allows for better canopy protection and distinct varietal aromas and flavors. To preserve its vibrant fruit flavors 100% free-run-juice was stainless-steel fermented at cool temperatures with a select yeast strain to enhance aromatics with 2-3 hours of skin contact time. Post fermentation, the wine spent four months in neutral oak barrels with light lees contact to improve mouth feel.
