About
Our Edna Valley Vineyard 2021 Sauvignon Blanc is a well-balanced wine with a distinct minerality and refreshing palate. Lively aromas of ripe grapefruit, lemon zest, lime blossom with a touch of jalapeño. Bright notes of orange marmalade, lychee and a touch of freshly cut grass brighten the palate and pull through to a crisp, cleansing finish.
Pairings
Enjoy with green goddess hummus and fresh farmer's market vegetables or cold fresh-cracked crab legs.
Harvest Notes
The 2021 harvest will be remembered for reduced crop size, small berries and intense flavor profiles across the board. Ongoing dry conditions affected both crop and berry size, while idyllic weather patterns allowed the fruit to ripen slowly and evenly. Edna Valley is renowned its rich oceanic and volcanic soils, cool Pacific breezes, and warm sunny days. Overall quality in 2021 was outstanding.
Winemaking Notes
We harvested our Sauvignon Blanc grapes when they had developed optimal balance and desirable citrus and tropical fruit notes. A variety of specialty yeasts were used to showcase the varietal characteristics and bring them to the wine’s forefront. We fermented in stainless steel tanks at cooler temperatures around 55°F to retain delicate aromas and signature compounds. To increase viscosity and complexity, the wine was aged on its lees for two months before blending.

This medium-bodied wine shows the classic snap peas and fresh herbs in the nose, and tangy citrus and green veggie notes on the palate. A savory, brothy expression sets it apart.
