2023 Sauvignon Blanc

We farm Sauvignon Blanc at Jespersen Ranch. The vineyard is located in the northwestern corner of the Edna Valley AVA just four miles from the ocean. Our three acres of Sauvignon Blanc thrive in the coastal environment and derive their character from the rolling banks of coastal fog in the morning and ocean breezes in the afternoon.

The 2023 vintage is full of juicy, mouthwatering acidity and lush tropical flavors that showcase the cool-climate vineyard site. Notes of pineapple, kiwi, lime zest and sweet pea shoots are underscored with fresh minerality and bright salinity.

We hand-harvested our Sauvignon Blanc grapes in two passes about a week apart. We whole cluster pressed the grapes into a combination of neutral puncheons and a stainless steel tank for fermentation. A portion of the wine went through malolactic fermentation, adding a slight richness to the mouthfeel. The wine aged in the same neutral puncheons and stainless steel tank for five months before it was blended and bottled.
