The 2022 growing season got off to a quick and early start. Lack of rains into the Spring and warm temps were a catylst for a great and early vintage. We adjusted the canopy on this Sauvignon Blanc to allow the berries to be sunkissed without full exposure. This allows us full flavor and character impact without excessive sugars while preserving the crisp acidity on the palate. That acidity integrates perfectly with the 25% new Burgundian oak balancing the citrus zestl and fresh grapefruit aromatics while providing an extensive stone fruit finish. The Lees aging in the barrel and stirring (batonage) of the lees create a nicely weighted fresh cream middle palate.
