100% Sauvignon Blanc. The 2020 Jaine Sauvignon Blanc was crafted from three vineyard sites in the Columbia Valley: Bacchus, Boushey, and Laura Lee. Bacchus is a fully sustainable vineyard and leading source of old vine Washington grapes. This higher elevation vineyard gives way to varied soils, which contributes complexity to the wine. Boushey is a Yakima Valley AVA vineyard, offering mild temperatures and layered soils that allow for extended hang time on the vines and result in well-balanced wines with pure fruit expression. Laura Lee is a lower elevation site located in the Royal Slope AVA and is sustainably farmed. Each vineyard was hand harvested early in the mornings of August 28th – September 15th, 2020 to maintain freshness.
Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were hand-sorted and whole-cluster-pressed. The Sauvignon Blanc was fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel to maximize its aromatic potential. Over the course of 8 months, this wine was individually evaluated over 40 times by our winemaking team.
