2023 Sauvignon Blanc, CaliforniaGrounded by Josh Phelps
Vintage Notes
While 2 weeks late in getting underway, a long, cool 2023 growing season along California's coastal and adjacent valleys provided ideal conditions for crafting this pure, laser focused expression of Sauvignon Blanc. Yields were slightly above average, but favorable late-season weather provided extra ripening time, ensuring fruit that met or exceeded our high standards for quality.
Winemaker Notes
Harvested in the cold early morning hours, the fruit was rushed to the winery for immediate loading into the press. The fresh juice was fermented cold in jacketed stainless-steel tanks, allowing us to maintain the vibrancy and bright natural acidity of this classic Sauvignon Blanc.
Tasting Notes
Opening with vibrant stone fruit, pomelo and guava flavors, the wine expands on the palate to include subtle notes of pear and lychee fruit. Meyer lemon zest and excellent natural acidity allow this Sauvignon Blanc to retain refreshing tension throughout the finish.
