Honig Sauvignon Blanc

VINEYARDThe fruit for this wine comes from our sustainably farmed vineyard in Rutherford, as well as other nearby vineyards.WINEMAKINGThe Sauvignon blanc grapes are treated using two different methods. To enhance the delicate tropical fruit flavors, a portion of the fruit goes directly into the press as whole clusters. The remaining fruit is de-stemmed and left in contact with the skins for several hours before pressing, amplifying the grapefruit/citrus components. All of the juice is fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks using a variety of yeast strains selected to bring out the aroma and flavor profiles of Sauvignon Blanc.AGINGAged on light lees 8% in neutral oak tanks the oak tanks help develop mid-palate texture without adding any oak flavor 92% in stainless steel tanksTasting NotesBright acidity and crisp freshness, with flavors of juicy peach, passion fruit, and grapefruit, and the enticing aromas of jasmine and lemon zest.
