2023 Dollarhide Estate Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

Winemaker’s Notes

A wine filled with fresh grapefruit, kiwi, lemon zest and dried melon aromas with fennel pollen and subtle notes of toasty oak. The palate is marked by pink grapefruit, ripe green apple, lime zest and white peach essence. It is structured and inviting, with a round, textured mouth feel from the oak barrel maturation and a creamy, layered texture. This Sauvignon Blanc is crisp yet rich with a satisfying lengthy finish.

Winemaking

After achieving the desired flavors on the vine, the Sauvignon Blanc was harvested in the cool morning hours in an effort to preserve the delicate flavors. Once in the cellar, grapes were pressed to tank and immediately chilled and settled. Fermentation occurred in both stainless steel tanks and new French oak barrels at cool temperatures to maintain and enhance the natural flavors. The final blend was completed after 5 months of sur-lies maturation to capture the lovely fresh qualities and intensity of flavor in the Sauvignon Blanc.

Parcel By Parcel

Our winemaking and vineyard team have a broad selection of soils and topography to choose from when selecting ideal vineyard sites at Dollarhide. Each parcel is planted with fruit quality and distinct character in mind. These parcels are then farmed individually so that the vines will thrive in their distinctive locations. Our team is able to match the right soils with the optimum combination of rootstock, clone selection and cultivation practices. The diversity of terrain results in a wide selection of fruit characteristics with which our winemakers work in producing estate sauvignon blanc and cabernet sauvignon, estate blends and the Dollarhide Estate single vineyard wines.
