2020Sauvignon Blanc
2020Sauvignon Blanc
The 2020 Matthews Sauvignon Blanc was crafted using Sauvignon Blanc from select vineyards located in the Horse Heaven Hills of the Columbia Valley. Farmed using sustainable practices, the fruit was machine harvested in the early mornings around 7 am. Upon arriving at the winery, all the grapes were pressed and the juice was delivered into tank. It was then fermented and aged in 100% stainless steel tanks before being bottled and released. Only 1,976 cases were produced.
Notes of fresh citrus, tropical fruits, and honeydew melon. Swirling brings up white tea, sweet green apple, and pineapple rind. The palate has vibrant acidity, good volume, and glossy polish. Flavors of pithy stone fruit and citrus linger on the finish.
Fresh-caught seafood like oysters, halibut or scallops
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Awards & Accolades
"Aromas of pear, peach and fresh pineapple. Medium-bodied with fresh, stony-mineral character. Bright. Stone fruit and tropical fruit drive the palate, with herbal and peppery complexity. Nicely composed and long. Drink now."
