Cartesian

California’s winegrowing regions are famous for a reason—with a climate that offers a near-perfect environment for grape growing, with dry heat and sunshiny days mitigated by breezes and fog that comes off the neighboring Pacific Ocean. There are distinct soils in each subregion across the state, and the vineyards planted in the deep valleys and on the rolling hills produce some of the world’s most renowned wines. Varietals of all kinds thrive in each of the unique subregions, but those that require little maintenance and love the bright sunshine like Sauvignon Blanc do exceptionally well. Our winemakers chose to make this 2020 Cartesian Sauvignon Blanc in a much more herbaceous and vegetal New Zealand style versus its sweet and citrus fruit-forward counterparts. Still, it is absolutely delightful, even with a unique palate. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.
