The grapes are sourced from the Melrose Vineyard in Napa Valley’s Rutherford AVA, a site owned by the Beckstoffer family. Known for its rare old-vine Sauvignon Blanc, the vineyard features loam soils rich in volcanic ash, contributing depth and complexity to the wines.
The old vines are carefully managed using a Lyre trellis system, allowing for ideal sun exposure. Under the guidance of winemaker Mike Smith, this Sauvignon Blanc is hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel and neutral oak to preserve its vibrant character. The wine shows aromatic nose of nectarine, pineapple, and melon, with bright acidity and creamy palate.
Try it with coconut shrimp, Thai food or goat cheese. Cheers!
