The Setting Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Winery Notes:

The fruit for our 2023 Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc comes from a cool, unique vineyard site that sits just below “The Madrona” hotel off Westside Road. Meticulously farmed by talented Viticulturist Cam Mauritson, this fruit is hand harvested and picked at night or first thing in the morning when temperatures are optimal. It is whole cluster pressed very gently and then settles into tank before going into barrel. What’s unique about our Sauvignon Blanc is that it’s fermented in French Oak with Acacia Wood heads which is a familiar technique done in Bordeaux to achieve amazing minerality and lots of spice components in the wine. Bright and vibrant on the palate, the attention to detail that goes into this wine gives it a beautiful opulence and texture. With aromas of fresh citrus blossom, white peach and a hint of tropical notes of guava and passionfruit, it is nothing short of refreshing and crisp.
