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.

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.
