It has been a few vintages since we made a Sauvignon Blanc at Trentadue. The grapes for our 2013 Sauvignon Blanc come from the Bellacana Vineyard, directly across the Russian River from our Estate. Approximately 25% of the grapes are from the Muskee clone, which brings a slight Muscat aroma to the wine. We purposely did not make a "grassy" style Sauvignon Blanc, our goal was a riper style with more tropical fruit with melon and apricot aromas. The body is viscous and full, finishing sweet on the mouth, although there is no residual sugar in it at all. The wine was slowly fermented at cold temperatures to preserve more of the aromatics and achieve a fuller and viscous body. No oak was used during aging. Enjoy this wine chilled with your favorite seafood or fruit and cheese plates.
