Varietal Sauvignon Blanc
Cepage 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Winemaking All the fruit was hand-harvested and brought into the winery within hours of being picked, where it was then lightly whole cluster pressed into stainless steel and chilled at 50°F for two days. On day three, it was cleaned and racked into a smaller tank, where it was allowed to start fermentation naturally. At 10 brix, the young wine was transferred to new and neutral French oak barrels, where it aged on the lees for nine months. To conserve varietal character and freshness, fermentation was kept slow at low temperatures below 56°F, and malolactic fermentation was stopped to retain the fruit’s naturally high acidity.

The Story
The fruit for our 2023 Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc comes from a cool, unique vineyard site that sits just below “The Madrona” hotel off Westside Road. Meticulously farmed by talented Viticulturist Cam Mauritson, this fruit is hand harvested and picked at night or first thing in the morning when temperatures are optimal. It is whole cluster pressed very gently and then settles into tank before going into barrel. What’s unique about our Sauvignon Blanc is that it’s fermented in barrels from Chateau Haut Brion in Bordeaux, with untoasted, steam-bent staves and toasted Acacia Wood heads, which is a familiar technique done in Bordeaux to achieve amazing minerality and lots of spice components in the wine.
