Meiggs' Pardon

Spirited citrus and dynamic acidity serve as the backbone of our Meiggs’ Pardon Sauvignon Blanc. Since the 1880s, when Sauvignon Blanc was first planted in the soils of California, it has been one of the state’s most popular grapes. Though our wine is from the New World, its lean styling is a nod to the celebrated white wines of Old World Bordeaux. California’s North Coast mimics the maritime climate of this grape variety’s French homeland with moderate temperatures during the growing season and occasional rainfall. These cool conditions extend the ripening period and push harvest back well into autumn. Without the threat of intense heat and overripening, this fruit can spend ample time on the vine, slowly developing its complex aromas and flavors. Vibrant acid and intense fruit flavors make this wine extremely food-friendly. Serve each glass well chilled alongside creamy cheeses or fatty fish, and make a toast to history.
