Description
A splendid cornucopia of aromatics and flavor makes this perfect from first to last sip. Complex citrus driven by pomelo grapefruit mingle with honeydew melon and cantaloupe plus a faint hint of freshly cut dill. An intriguing petrol character combines with a blast of minerality at the finish cinching this wine’s distinctiveness. The palate texture is evocative of a creamsicle – smooth, layered, and enticing. A mix of new and neutral barrels lend floraland spicy notes while the stainless steel gives a freshness and “pop”of natural acidity and crispness reminiscent of a fine white Bordeaux. As versatile as a Swiss Army knife, our Alder Grove Sauvignon Blanc goes with nearly everything including traditional oysters ina mignonette sauce. We also like it with rock cod tacos, quiche Lorraine, and cauliflower soup. All indicators point to cellaring well into 2025-2027, so save a few bottles (if you can) for later.

Blended with 23% Sémillon, this is a textured and complex wine, high-toned in edgy acidity. The flavors combine effortlessly along a palate of cohesive grace and grip, tasting of grapefruit and pomelo.

Lemon meringue, lime curd and orange sherbet flavors are fresh and mouthwatering, with a thread of beeswax adding a savory thread. Finishes with a vibrant, fragrant detail of litsea oil. Drink now. 784 cases made.

A bright lemon, pineapple, and sappy green herb-laced white, the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Alder Grove Vineyard is medium-bodied and has bright, clean citrus fruits, a kiss of minerality, and outstanding length on the finish. It’s a racier, almost green, expression of the variety that’s going to be incredibly versatile on the dinner table.
