2023 Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting notes
Consistent experience on the nose and palate: green grass, lime zest, gooseberry, green tea. Racy acidity will allow this wine to stay fresh over time, and also pair with a wide range of foods!
The return of Sauvignon Blanc! After a few years hiatus, Savvy B is back in the cellar. Watched carefully in the vineyard for balancing tropical and green flavors, always favoring the ‘shady side’ of the block to highlight the fresh but vegetal characteristics that I enjoy from Northwest Sauvignon.
90% Stainless steel fermentation, 10% American oak.
The most carefully-handled juice in the cellar – ‘green juice’ winemaking practices mitigate oxygen exposure pre fermentation.
