Peju Sauvignon Blanc
Availability:6 In Stock
Composition: 100% Sauvignon Blanc Harvest: August 2021 Fermentation: Stainless steel Bottling: February 202
This bright refreshing Sauvignon Blanc presents with aromas
of tropical fruit, stone fruit, and white floral. Nectarine and
white peach combine as lively notes of pineapple dance across
the palate. The wine strikes a perfect balance with its crisp
acidity and delicate silky texture.
VINEYARDS
The PEJU family owns and sustainably farms six estate vineyards in
Napa Valley ranging from Carneros, Napa’s coolest growing region,
all the way north to Calistoga. Rare in today’s wine industry, the
family’s careful oversight of its estate vineyards assures quality from
grape to glass. PEJU’s 30-acre Rutherford Estate was certified organic in 2007 by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) and in 2019 all six of their vineyard properties were certified under the Fish Friendly Farming program.
VINTAGE
The 2021 season started off with very little rain, leading to the second year of drought conditions in Northern California. The result is a more natural load on the vines, requiring less pruning and dropping of fruit. The grapes are packed full of flavor. Winemaker Sara Foweler
