2022 Grgich Hills Estate Fumé Blanc Organic

This Sauvignon Blanc opens with great aromatic complexity as the scents of key lime, verbena, and honeysuckle mingle on the nose. The taste is defined by fresh citrus flavors and bright acidity, as well as mineral and herbaceous undertones that are characteristic of the Fumé Blanc style. The finish is juicy, mouth-watering and long-lasting, enticing you to enjoy sip after sip.

Viticulture

We grow Sauvignon Blanc grapes in our American Canyon and Carneros vineyards in the southern tip of Napa Valley, near San Francisco Bay. The clay soils retain water, allowing us to dry farm, and the coolness slows ripening and retains acidity. The grapes develop a crisp liveliness that is impossible to achieve in warmer areas. About 80% of our Sauvignon Blanc is planted to the Musqué clone, which provides elegant floral aromatics. All our vineyards are certified regenerative organic, ensuring that all of our grapes are of the highest quality, and that we are responsible stewards of our environment
