Quivira Vineyards, Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc

After field sorting the fruit before it reaches the winery, we gently whole cluster press the grapes to retain acidity. Cool fermentation emphasized varietal character and terroir nuances. Bright and intense tropical fruit immediately pops from the glass. Notes of grapefruit, honeydew and lemon zest, followed by additional tropical notes of pineapple and passion fruit with just a touch of grassiness and orange pith on the finish. The round, mouth filling juiciness is held together by crisp acidity, which shows itself on the mid and late palate, balancing the wine. The finish is long, fruitforward and flavorful, espousing the complexity of the blend from both the vineyard and the winemaking.
