Citrus and flowery aromas. The mouthfeel is balanced and refreshing. Overall a delightful Sauvignon Blanc at a great price point from Star Lane Vineyards.
From The Winery:
TASTING NOTES:
Aromas fly out of the glass with a tropical and stone fruit explosion. The intensity of the wine is apparent before the first sip and only confirmed when the wine is tasted. You can feel the body of the wine as it hits your palate, but the verve and energy of freshness carries through all the way to the finish which only begs you to take a second sip and desire a second glass.
WINEMAKER NOTES:
Our typical regime for Sauvignon blanc was no different in 2021: whole clusters went direct to press where they underwent a slow press cycle designed to minimize bitter components and promote fresh flavor profiles. About 35% of the wine was fermented in a large oak cask which seems to open the aromatics up and increase roundness, and the remaining juice fermented in stainless steel to promote tension and energy in the mouth feel. Secondary fermentation, which can soften the palate feel, was prevented to balance out the natural body observed.
