Vineyards
100% from our Gapstone estate vineyard at the heart of the Petaluma Gap. A huge helping of love, passion and hard-earned experience went into developing this site, and we are absolutely giddy to see its pedigree and potential already showing up in the glass.
Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Sauvignon Blanc is known for bright acidity and freshness. Our Gapstone Vineyard has aromas of passion fruit, lychee, Ruby Red grapefruit, wet stone and lime zest. The cooler climate of Petaluma Gap offers striking acidity, making the body appear graceful and lithe, yet layers of weight and texture let you know it has a complex and persistent richness.
Food Affinities
Sauvignon Blanc has a place at the table all year long. Spring and summer come to mind first with fresh veggies, fruits, ceviche, oysters, grilled white fish, poultry and anything else light and refreshing. And then the wonderful truth is that fall and winter also provide ample opportunity to celebrate this delightful varietal. The trick is to seek purity and balance in your winter flavors, where you taste each component on the plate, such as herbed potatoes, fried chicken, whole baked fish and the like, all hearty but well delineated. Fun to explore all year round.
Ageability
Many assume Sauvignon Blanc is meant to be consumed ice cold. While delightful on a hot day or evening, the full character of this wonderful white will reveal itself as it warms up just a bit. Start at around 50º F if you can, then experience the complete wine as it warms a little more in your glass.
