2024 Clos du Val Sauvignon Blanc

Lemongrass, ripe grapefruit, and fresh lime zest open the flavor profile, followed by subtle hints of white peach. The palate is crisp and medium-bodied, offering layers of flinty minerality and bright citrus oil. Clean, refreshing acidity runs straight through the middle, carrying the fruit into a bright, energetic finish.

Fruit is harvested by hand during the cool early morning hours. Following a gentle whole-cluster pressing, the juice is fermented primarily in stainless steel tanks to emphasize the bright primary fruit flavors. A small percentage is fermented in neutral French oak barrels to build texture, and the final blend rests on its fine lees for several months before bottling.

Fruit is sourced from estate vineyards in Napa Valley, California. The vines sit on well-draining, gravelly loam soils that naturally limit yields and concentrate flavors. The region's Mediterranean climate features warm, sunny days to fully ripen the grapes, balanced by cool evening breezes and morning fog from San Pablo Bay that help maintain a crisp, refreshing acidity.
