Sauvignon Blanc
Vineyard
The grapes for this limited-release Sauvignon Blanc were grown in the sand and cobblestone-laden soils of our partnering F&G Vineyard in the cool and windy Arroyo Seco AVA. These rugged soils keep yields in check and produce fruit with intensity, minerality, and exceptional weight. The F&G Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is crafted to be a New World expression of pure varietal character in a classic, Old World style.
Vintage
The 2023 growing season was characterized by moderate days with daytime highs in the 70s to 80s in the late spring and summer. The characteristic winds off nearby Monterey Bay provided ideal conditions for gradual ripening of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes and a gentle reprieve from the warmth of early September. The cool weather enhanced the key lime, grapefruit, passionfruit, and Meyer lemon flavors in the Sauvignon Musque grapes, while the afternoon winds helped slow maturity and increase texture.
