2023 Sauvignon Blanc
Stottle Winery - 2023 Sauvignon Blanc
Varietal Composition: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
AVA & Vineyards: Rattlesnake Hills - Schmidt Vineyard
Cooperage: This Sauvignon Blanc was fermented and aged in concrete for 9 months, allowing for a gentle and controlled fermentation process that preserved the wine's natural freshness and acidity. The use of concrete vessels, which are neutral and slightly porous enhances the wine’s texture without imparting any oak influence. This aging period in concrete contributed to a well-rounded mouthfeel while maintaining the bright, vibrant characteristics of the grape. The result is a complex yet balanced wine with layers of tropical fruit, a crisp acidity, and a clean, mineral-driven finish.
Description: Fermented and aged in concrete, this wine delivers a bright, lively acidity reminiscent of Sancerre, but with a softer, more rounded minerality. The fruit profile leans into the warmth of a sun-soaked climate, showcasing vibrant tropical notes typical of Sauvignon Blanc, with flavors of ripe pineapple, guava, and passion fruit.. Drink now through 2033.
