Description
AVETA is named for a water goddess often depicted carrying fruit. It is a fitting moniker to express the vibrant fruit flavors and minerality of our Sauvignon Blanc which is crafted from fruit grown in the alluvial soils of our estate vineyards as well as other exceptional Napa Valley sites. While Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars began making Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc in the early 1980s, 2013 was the first vintage to carry the name “AVETA.”
Stag’s Leap AVETA Sauvignon Blanc
Key vineyards for this wine included Danika Ranch (52%), Bravo Zulu (13%), Rancho Chimiles (21%) and Ryan’s Vineyard (12%). Oak Knoll fruit brings spicy peach, guava and grapefruit notes to the mix. The juice was fermented at cool temperatures in a mix of stainless steel (63%) and neutral French oak barrels (37%). The wine was aged on light lees for 6 months and was stirred every two weeks, providing some roundness to the wine’s texture.
