Matanzas Creek Bennett Valley Sauvignon Blanc

Two different French clones of sauvignon blanc (clones 376 and 530) were harvested on September 7th and 8th. These two clones are well adapted to cold conditions as we experienced in Bennett Valley; they are more resistant to rot, and produce a good amount of sugar with unique tropical flavors. This sauvignon blanc offers assertive acidity and a plump texture due to the extra lees aging in the barrel. For the past four decades, Matanzas Creek Winery has focused on creating site-expressive wines. throughout the years our methodology has remained the same: utilize a range of vineyard clones and fermentation vessels, and explore new farming and winemaking techniques, to produce thoughtfully crafted, expressive, and balanced wines. Today, all Matanzas Creek Winery estate vineyards are sustainably farmed and are certified under the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance.
