Palate
This bright, fresh wine is abundant in classic Sauvignon Blanc flavors of grapefruit, lemon zest and spicy pear. The Muscat brings floral aromas and a slightly sweet honeysuckle finish which adds a soft, roundness across the mid-palate. Its aromas and flavors gently evolve as the wine warms. A wonderful warm weather wine, Wow Oui is crisp and refreshing.
Growing Conditions
: It was a wet winter going into the 2016 growing season. We are accustomed to working with limited amounts of water due to years of drought conditions. But this year we were worried about abundance. Strategic planning on the part of our vineyard team, and Biodynamic farming, has always seen us through the trying times and 2016 had us on our toes. Despite early season warmth and rain challenges, once we hit ripening season, harvest had great weather for hanging fruit to reach full maturity; not too hot, not too cold, just enough to achieve ideal flavors and balance.
Winemaking
The free run Sauvignon Blanc juice was tank fermented in stainless steel to preserve the crisp acidity and clean flavors of the grapes. It was then blended with the Muscat and Viognier just before bottling.
