“Our 2019 Estate Sauvignon Blanc is fermented in 100% stainless steel and aged for just six months on its lees to capture its fresh and vibrant flavors. A very aromatic variety, we produced the 2019 Estate Sauvignon Blanc in a style to preserve and showcase the purity of its character. The lees contact gives the wine more volume, while softening its long, sleek finish and displays notes of grapefruit, gooseberry, lemongrass, verbena, linden, and honeysuckle.” – Steve Rogstad, WinemakerTechnical Details

"Freshly cut grass and dried lemon zest and guava on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with bright, tangy acidity. Fresh. Drink now. Screw cap."

"Lengthy and intense, this estate-grown white is fermented entirely in stainless steel and aged similarly for another six months. Kiwi, honeydew and grapefruit combine around a stony texture of grip and viscosity."
