The fruit for this wine comes from our sustainably farmed vineyard in Rutherford, as well as other nearby vineyards.
Honeysuckle and stone fruit aromas and flavors flow into a perfectly round mid-palate, followed by bright citrus reminiscent of lime and ruby grapefruit. A layered and delicious Sauvignon Blanc in the classic Honig style, easily enjoyed on its own or with lighter seasonal fare.
The grapes were harvested during cooler night-time and early morning temperatures, preserving the inherent aromas and flavors. All the fruit was whole cluster pressed and the juice was settled before racking off lees. Fermentation was at moderately cool temperatures (60-65 F) in stainless steel tanks using a variety of yeast strains selected to enrich the aroma and flavor profiles of Sauvignon Blanc. Aged on light lees, in stainless steel tanks, prior to blending and bottling.
Our family came to Rutherford in 1964, and began making wine in 1980. Production focuses on just two varietals - Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. The winery is family owned and operated, sustainably farmed, and powered by solar energy.
My goal in starting a wine collective is to hand pick a unique, fun variety of wines from all over the world. To entice people to step out of the norm and be open to experiencing varietals and bottles that you may never have heard of, never knowing what you were missing! For you to awaken your palate to the bounty and abundance of unique, stunning, sexy wines from all across the globe. I hope wine tasting becomes a passion for you as it is for me! Prepare to be awed!
