Description

The grapes for this wine were sourced from the sunny vineyards of the Central Valley and the cool vineyards of the Central Coast. During the 2023 growing season, cool conditions persisted throughout spring and summer, extending the time the grapes spent on the vines. As a result, the grapes showed exceptional ripeness with vibrant flavor characteristics and optimal balance.

FRANCISCAN ESTATE

After harvest, the grapes went straight to press, before being cold-settled. To capture the most fruit-forward expression of Sauvignon Blanc, we prolonged fermentation before racking off heavy lees. The final blend was composed just before bottling, allowing flavors and textures to come together harmoniously before release.
