2024 Quintessence Sauvignon Blanc
A 100% Sauvignon Blanc from one of our favorite growing sites on Red Mountain. This has been a winemaker favorite since its first vintage in 2016. The juice is fermented and aged in specially made egg-shaped French oak barrels which allow for a greater surface area at the bottom of the vessel and more lees contact resulting in rich texture balanced by classic Red Mountain mouth-watering acidity. On the aroma we get honeycomb, white peach, and grapefruit. The palate is creamy and full—melon, Honeycrisp apple, and a hint of pineapple. Drink now or hold onto it as it should be a white wine that will age gracefully over 5-15 years.

Production Notes
Our Quintessence Sauvignon Blanc is hand-picked, pressed, cold-settled for 48 hours, and then racked into egg-shaped Ovonum barrels where it is slowly fermented at low temperatures. The juice spent 11 months on lees before being racked and bottled.
