Sauvignon Blanc
Ancient Peaks Sauvignon Blanc exhibits a vivid varietal character that is rooted in the estate Margarita Vineyard and other select sites in Paso Robles. Collectively, these vineyards produce a Sauvignon Blanc that strikes a fine balance of ripeness and raciness, with crisp acidity and appealing mineral accents.
Wine Production
This Sauvignon Blanc is created with the aim to produce an authentic Sauvignon Blanc that reflects both the marine-influenced growing conditions at Margarita Vineyard and the tropical fruit tones of warmer Paso Robles vineyard sites. Each Sauvignon Blanc lot is cold fermented at 55 degrees to retain delicate aromatics and pure fruit flavors. The wine is then aged for three months in stainless steel tanks to further preserve textural crispness.
Tasting Notes
The Sauvignon Blanc offers pronounced aromas of pear, pineapple, and lemon zest with fresh mineral tones. A clean, quenching texture delivers punchy flavors of melon, peach, guava, and grapefruit. A subtle hint of varietal grassiness adds complexity to a bright, zesty finish.
Food Pairing
The crisp, refreshing flavors of this Sauvignon Blanc make a perfect match for crab cakes, fresh oysters, grilled sole with lemon, and herb-roasted chicken breast.

Analytical Data
About the Vineyard
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes come predominantly from Block 41, one of the coolest locations at Margarita Vineyard. Block 41 occupies rocky alluvial soils that vary in density, elevation and exposure. As the block slopes downward from its crown, the soils become thicker, and the temperatures become cooler. These variances create different fruit expressions and complexities in the cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc fruit. Into this mix, fruit from select vineyards in warmer areas of Paso Robles are included. These complementary sites layer in riper tropical fruit flavors that bring added dimension to the finished wine.
