Description: | "We wanted to create a wine that would showcase the beautiful white varietals grown on our Oakville Estate, just as the Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon has long showcased the reds." President and CEO Suzanne Groth. The Groth Estate Sauvignon Blanc is sourced exclusively from the eastern section of Groth's sustainably farmed Oakville Estate Vineyard. In 1994, Groth replanted these blocks, historically reserved for Cabernet Sauvignon, as they recognized the potential of the clay soils to produce white wines of great texture, depth and complexity. Sauvignon Blanc is a vigorous variety, one that requires constant attention in the vineyard to tame what the French call its "sauvage" (wild) character. But the reward for meticulous attention to detail is a sophisticated representation of the varietal, a wine that is bright yet richly textured, with inviting fruit, complexity and an underlying minerality. The addition of Semillon builds body and roundness in the wine and adds an intriguing green melon flavor. Winemaker's Tasting Notes : "Groth 2022 Estate Sauvignon Blanc beams with symphonic aromatics: ripe mango, papaya, nectarine, tangerine and citrus peel open to hints of white tea leaf, marzipan, white flowers and river rock. The palate reveals a beautiful balance of acidity and viscosity, plush and layered with an enticing interplay of Key lime and ripe stone fruit, driving lifted and long, finishing round yet bright with a whisper of sea air salinity." |
