Sourced from the windy, cool Arroyo Seco AVA, known for California's longest growing season, this 2024 Sauvignon Blanc showcases the uniqueness of the Griva vineyard in Arroyo Seco’s loam riverbed that contains more sand, gravel, and large stones than any other in the AVA. This rocky, well-drained alluvial soil gives the wine its inherent freshness and minerality. Hand-harvested and foot-treaded, the grapes underwent a short skin contact before cool, ambient yeast fermentation in stainless steel. Aging on heavy lees for four months in a combination of concrete egg and stainless steel adds complexity. The vibrant aromas of peach gummy, gooseberry, and lemongrass, give way to flavors of ripe pear, white pineapple, white peach, and a refreshing hint of sweet lemonade, balanced by fresh herbal notes. A killer companion to fresh seafood, grilled asparagus, goat cheese salads, and spicy Asian cuisine, or anything that needs a little bright acidity to cut through rich foods.
