Varietal Sauvignon Blanc

93% Sauvignon Blanc, 7% Sémillon

THE VINEYARD: This blend starts with Sauvignon Blanc from our Stags Leap District Estate vineyard. Robert Mondavi purchased this site in 1969, and this hillside vineyard produces fruit with intense varietal character. The balance of Sauvignon Blanc hails from our Oakville estate. The well-draining soils of this site result in low yields of deeply concentrated fruit, with vibrant fruit flavors and acidity. A small amount of Oakville Sémillon adds roundness with a creamy texture.

THE VINTAGE: Overall, the 2022 vintage was a mild, dry, and very pleasant growing season through August. The fruit was hand-harvested. The juice fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and oak barrels, and the wine aged for six months in French oak (13% new) before bottling.
