Winemaking For aromatic grape varieties like Sauvignon Blanc, a swift machine harvest proved crucial to avoid 2022’s autumn heat waves. After careful sorting and pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to preserve the wine’s natural freshness and varietal character. Each sip reflects this meticulous attention to detail, showcasing a delightful harmony between winemaker, varietal and terroir.

Vintage Our wine’s plump and juicy character results from a warm growing season in Paso Robles vineyards. After a dry winter and frosty spring reduced crop sizes, the grapes enjoyed a peaceful summer. Autumn introduced several heat waves that accelerated ripening. To beat the heat, white grapes were harvested in early August before the hottest spikes in September. These conditions created beautifully ripe flavors while allowing Sauvignon Blanc to maintain its naturally crisp acidity.

Pairing Logic Our Sauvignon Blanc has the flavor concentration and freshness to bring a variety of cuisines to the next level. It will pair especially well with seafood, tender white meat, fried fare (including vegetables) and tangy Asian-inspired dishes. Choose salty seasonings and marinades to emphasize the wine’s body and accentuate its fruit. Creamy cheeses and sauces will show off its zingy acidity as it slices through smooth textures to create a pleasing, palate-cleansing effect.
