Sauvignon Blanc, HALL wine
Our 2023 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc is fresh and effusive with aromas of citrus blossom, guava, and lemon grass. Bright, lively acidity on the palate is balanced with flinty minerality and mid-palate richness driven by sur-lie aging. This wine is fermented entirely in stainless steel and bottled without filtration.
The 2023 growing season was all about patience. A very long, wet winter replenished the soils and filled our reservoirs. Cooler spring weather delayed budbreak and the start of the growing season by several weeks. Late spring saw moderate warmth and led to substantial canopy growth, as well as a healthy crop load on the vines. Mild, warm temperatures created perfect ripening conditions throughout the summer and early fall. The longer hang time allowed the fruit to reach optimum ripeness, and resulted in a superb vintage that is fresh, full of flavor, with great balance and fruit density.
