About the wine
A captivating bouquet of sun-kissed white peach, coconut cream, and fragrant citrus blossom brushed with vanilla. The palate unfolds with silky notes of lemon custard and ripe pineapple, framed by a luxurious yet poised texture. Nuances of warm brioche and gentle spice lend depth, while a refined mineral edge carries through to an extended, seamless finish. Polished, expressive, and impeccably balanced.
The grapes for this Sauvignon Blanc were harvested on August 21 and sourced from a single block within our St. Helena Estate Vineyard, rooted in heavier clay soils that lend breadth, texture, and natural balance to the wine. Fermentation was carried out in a thoughtful combination of vessels—new French oak (including Ermitage), neutral French oak, and stainless steel—building layers of nuance and complexity while preserving freshness. The wine was aged sur lie for five to six months, enhancing mouthfeel and aromatic depth, before being blended and bottled on March 20, 2025, a leaf day.
