2023 Sauvignon Blanc, Mammoth Rock

Our first-ever wine from this dramatic coastal site. We aimed to capture the vineyard's raw energy, resulting in a Sauvignon Blanc with vibrant aromatics, a distinct saline note, and beautiful texture. It's a new perspective on a classic varietal. Winemaking Notes: 100% whole cluster pressed for a very long press cycle, the 2023 was fermented in a concrete egg and held there for 8 months before being racked with all lees to once used and neutral 600L demi-muid and 500L pungeon barrels. From there, this wine remained in cask sur lie for 9 months before being racked to stainless steel tanks to settle and be bottled in the Spring of 2025. Vintage Notes: 2023 was an incredibly cool and mild growing season that saw our Mammoth Rock Vineyard experience delayed ripening with harvest occurring in mid to late October. Early heavy rainfall set the soil up for success and mild and cool conditions continued throughout the growing season all the way to September when fog settled in and then late rain events delayed ripening further and further. The extra hang time turned out to be an immense blessing as we see incredible lifted aromatics, elegance, intense acidities and depth.
