Vineyard: Napa Valley. 87% Sauvignon Blanc and 13% Sémillon.
Vinification: The grapes were hand-harvested in the cool of the morning and gently pressed as whole clusters - minimizing skin contact - to retain freshness and flavor vibrancy. All of the juice was barrel fermented for added richness and complexity, with 5% in new French oak for added texture and complexity. The new wine was aged for six months in 60-gallon French oak barrels, sûr lie (on the yeast lees), and hand-stirred twice a month for a creamy texture and seamless integration of flavors. The addition of a small percentage of Sémillon gives the final blend a broader mouthfeel and enhanced complexity.
Tasting Notes: Refreshing lime blossom and grapefruit citrus with green apple, juicy peach, fresh melon, and a hint of jasmine.
Enjoy at: 12°C.
Aging Potential: For the next 6 to 8 years.
