Foppiano Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Sauvignon Blanc derives pleasant aromas and flavor complexity from brief skin contact. Our grapes are machine harvested at night and early morning to ensure the fruit is cool. The lightly crushed grapes sit in ½ ton bins for 2 – 3 hours before being pressed into tanks for cold settling. 48 to 72 hours later, the cleanest juice is racked into tanks for a slow, cool fermentation. A small percentage of the finished wine goes to neutral oak barrels to make a nice round finish. 

This wine showcases a blend of both the lush tropical style, and a bright citrus character. The results are aromas of lemongrass, sliced nectarine, kiwi lemonade, and orange blossom. Pomelo, Easy Peel Cuties, apricot, and cream sickle coat the palate and finish. Slightly chilled on a warm day is the perfect paring for this wine.
