From organically grown grapes this 100% stainless steel Sauvignon Blanc comes alive with a nose of Meyer lemon creme pie. Crisp flavors are highlighted by kiwi fruit along with Meyer lemon and tropicals. Zippy acidity as you’d expect from stainless steel fermentation with a long Meyer lemon finish.

An enjoyably crisp SB with a nose of Meyer lemon, citrus and honeysuckle. Stainless steel fermentation lets the fruit speak with flavors of Meyer lemon, honeysuckle and tropicals with notes of minerality and white peach as the wine opens. Well-balanced and refreshing with crisp acidity for good food pairing. The addition of 3% Sauvignon Musque in the blend rounds out the mouth-feel a touch. Buy This Wine
