ABOUT THIS WINE:

Luxana

Luxana

Sauvignon Blanc

This Sauvignon Blanc thrived in the warmth of Lake County’s high-elevation vineyards, creating a rare California wine. Hanging on the vine at a high elevation means that these grapes spend most of their time basking in the sunshine and developing tropical flavors, but this same altitude allows them to retain their acidity—something that shines through in every sip. It has a crisp lemon-lime zest that meets more tropical flavors of pineapple, passionfruit, and papaya. This fruity combination makes for a vibrant wine perfect for serving out on the patio. Enjoy with a hearty helping of creamy pasta or opt for a freshly prepared Caprese salad.

WINE REGION:

Outline of Lake County

Lake County

It might be called Lake County, but it is actually volcanoes that give this rugged northern California region its distinct terroir. Part of the North Coast AVA, Lake County lies just north of Napa. Ancient, mineral-rich soils help deliver bold but impressively elegant reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel, and whites like Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. The vines benefit from the maritime conditions around Clear Lake—California's largest body of fresh water. Its influence brings low nighttime temperatures to balance the hot days, slowing the grapes' ripening and producing wines with intensely concentrated flavors.
