Beaulieu Vineyard BV Sauvignon Blanc - 2023 (750ml)

Our inaugural release of this Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc is a beautiful expression from vines located within the heart of the valley, offering fragrant notes of Meyer lemon, white peach, orange blossom, and bright pineapple, alongside more subtle oak notes of brioche toast and marzipan. The palate provides a focused mouthfeel up front, bursting with ripe citrus fruits, lasting in length, finishing round and rich with a luscious core of depth, vibrancy, and persistence. Extremely balanced and pleasing, this Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and lively with mouthwatering character, inviting sip after sip. Enjoy on its own as a refreshing aperitif or pair with charcuterie platters, mixed salads, and lighter fish or chicken dishes. - bvwines.com

After hand harvesting and gently pressing the clusters, the juice was fermented with specifically selected yeast to enhance the wine’s intense fruit expression. Malolactic fermentation was blocked to preserve the pure fruit character. A majority of the wine was fermented in stainless steel barrels while a small portion was fermented and aged in new French oak. The oak aided in increasing flavor complexity and richness of texture through bâtonnage (stirring) and sur lie (on the yeast) aging. - bvwines.com

92 Points “A brand-new wine for the Beaulieu portfolio, this Sauvignon Blanc is both energetic and refreshing. Tropical fruits and brightening citrus notes are accented with flavors of smashed almonds and layered spices. Concentration and length complete this satisfying wine.” - Elaine Chukan Brown, Wine Enthusiast
