2021 Sauvignon Blanc, Farina Vineyard

$35 / 750ml

We fermented in a combination of small (240 gal) concrete egg, Acacia barrels, and small stainless-steel barrels. We kept it chilly in the cellar for a long cool fermentation, which enhances the fresh juicy fruit flavors and exotic tropical fruit notes. We stirred each barrel during the 6 months of fermentation and aging, which adds a touch of creaminess. Round and juicy, your first sip is reminiscent of a mid-summer day with luscious tropical fruit and fresh acidity. Crisp and refreshing on the finish, this racy yet rich white wine is packed with complex flavors of ripe green apple, Meyer lemon curd and juicy pineapple.

A complex and nuanced white wine, grown on the Farina Vineyard of Sonoma Mountain AVA. A tour de force of fermentation styles bringing together Acacia barrels, stainless steel and concrete egg, blended with ideal growing conditions, results in a classic California Sauvignon Blanc.

The effusive aromas of this classic “California” style Sauvignon blanc are a rich medley of fragrant citrus and tropical fruit notes. With the help of warm days and cool nights during the growing season, this racy yet rich white wine is packed with complex flavors of ripe green apple, Meyer lemon and juicy pineapple. The rich creaminess in the core is attributed to the fermentation and aging on the lees, and the frequent stirring of the lees during aging. The bright minerality can be attributed to the fermentation and aging in a concrete egg, with the sweet floral notes from the Acacia wood barrels. The clean and refreshing finish is the result of fermenting and aging in small stainless-steel barrels.

Our Sauvignon Blanc classically pairs well with delicately flavored foods like chicken, filet of sole or oysters, as well as many green vegetables like asparagus, peas, and artichokes. The bright acidity and fruity flavors also complement dishes with mild sauces, vinaigrettes, or fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, basil, or rosemary.
