Wine Review: This white gold colored Sauvignon Blanc from DAOU opens with a very fragrant yellow grapefruit and peach pit bouquet with hints of pineapple, petrol, and green tea. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced and round. The flavor profile is a tart grapefruit and gooseberry blend with notes of stony minerality and lemongrass. We also detected hints of pea, dried herbs, and green bell pepper. The finish is dry, and its flavors are nicely prolonged. We would pair this wine with chicken stir fry or a chicken piccata. Enjoy – Ken & Joe

Winemaker Notes: Quintessential varietal character abounds in our 2021 Sauvignon Blanc. Classic aromas of wet grass, pineapple, lemon chiffon and gooseberry are accented by hints of grapefruit, kiwi, and lime. Subtle notes of lemongrass and green apple round out the layered and balanced nose. A crisp, zesty palate presents vibrant tropical flavors of pineapple, papaya, and dragon fruit. The mouthfeel is full and round, offering secondary layers of melon and quince supported by a solid lemon-lime core. Notes of juicy pineapple, guava, citrus and green apple emerge on a clean, exuberant finish.
