sauvignon blanc
2008 Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc
Our Sauvignon Blanc is, well, exceptional! And might we add, it is also owner Mary Novak’s favorite wine. We blend Sauvignon Blanc from our estate with grapes grown for us by a handful of conscientious growers to create a vibrant, lovely, flavorful wine. Due to its very limited production, we offer this wine only to our mailing list customers and to select restaurants around the country.
With alluring aromas of floral peach blossom and ripe nectarines, the 2008 Sauvignon Blanc is sure to please. This wine, fermented and aged in small stainless steel and French oak barrels and tiny concrete egg-shaped tanks, exhibits all that is to be expected from Spottswoode. Smoothly textured and with a pleasant acidity, the 2008 exhibits pure Sauvignon Blanc fruit—full and ripe with refined minerality. Our continued appreciation for all that is beautiful in this grape is due to the fine work performed by our own estate vineyard crew and by a handful of meticulous farmers. We thank the Tofanelli, Hyde, and Farina families for their contributions to this blend!
