2020Royal Slope Sauvignon Blanc

Sold Out

The 2020 Royal Slope Sauvignon Blanc crafted primarily from Stillwater Creek vineyard site along the Royal Slope AVA. The vineyard was hand-harvested early in the morning between Sept 15th - 23rd, 2020. Upon arriving in the winery, the vineyard lot was hand-sorted, whole-cluster pressed, and fermented in stainless-steel. To maintain freshness and verve, the Sauvignon Blanc was kept in a stainless tank as opposed to cellaring in oak. The 9% Semillon from the Boushey vineyard site was fermented and aged in neutral French oak. Bottled in July of 2021. Only 166 cases were made of our first ever AVA designated Sauvignon Blanc.

Tasting Notes

Notes of white flowers, bergamot, ginger, and fresh green tea. Swirling adds white peach pit, caramelized kumquat, and lightly toasted puff pastry. The palate has a pithy citrus, hint of bloomed baking spice, and vibrant acidity. A beautifully complex wine with verve, density, and a spice filled finish.

Varietal Composition

91% Sauvignon Blanc, 9% Semillon
