2022 was a near ideal vintage for Sauvignon Blanc.

Our first vintage sourcing several Sauvignon Blanc clones from Horse Heaven Hills, this vintage represents our latest harvest date on record for our Columbia Valley Sauvignon Blanc. All three vineyard sites were picked in the early morning light on October 7th, 2022.

Upon arriving at the winery, the grapes were whole cluster pressed under a blanket of protective CO2 and the juice was delivered into tank. It was then cold settled for 24 hours before being fermented cold in 100% stainless steel tanks. Fermentation techniques were selected individually for each vineyard to help accentuate the fruit and typicity from each location. Primary fermentation was slow and cool, allowing the wine to hold onto its intense aromatic profile. Secondary fermentation was arrested to preserve freshness and acidity and the wine was blended shortly before bottling. The wine was bottled on March 28th, 2023.
