Description

Sauvignon Blanc Lovers!
Bid on this case of delicious Sauvignon Blanc from Honig Winery, a highly acclaimed Sauvignon Blanc grower from Napa Valley.

Tasting Notes
Bright and lively, a Loire style Sauvignon Blanc with fresh aromas of ruby grapefruit, mango, papaya, and peach. The vibrant citrus and tropical flavors linger on the finish and the texture is crisp and minerally.

Winemaking
We use two different methods to process the fruit: whole cluster pressing and cold soaking. To preserve the delicate tropical fruit flavors, the majority of the fruit goes directly into the press as whole clusters. With the cold soak process, selected grape lots are crushed into a tank and the juice is left in contact with the skins for several hours before processing. This cold soaking process enhances the grapefruit/citrus components. We then ferment everything in stainless steel tanks at cold temperatures.
