Eisele Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Sauvignon Blanc is the white wine from the Eisele Vineyard. The parcels are located on the Eastern side of the property, where the hills provide ideal protection from the afternoon sun, preserving the freshness and energy of this wine. The blending of two Sauvignon Blanc clones: Sauvignon Musque with its slightly exotic flavors, and Sauvignon Blanc with a lean, gravely structure, produces a wine of great pleasure that speaks of the long warm summers and the dry cobbly soils. Starting with the 2013 vintage, extended elevage on the lees has added tension and aromatic complexity to this unique wine.

At first the nose expresses subtle scents of fresh cut grass and hawthorn blossom. A gentle swirl unlocks notes of candied citruses, lemongrass, verbena, and ginger with a hint of white musk. The palate, in a perfect alignment with the nose, delivers aromas of fresh rose petals and pink grapefruit accompanied by an incredible unctuosity intertwined with a velvety honeycomb texture. This youthful sensation lingers with poached pear, vanilla and cinnamon and a quinine tonic finish that carries you away.
