Palate
This Grand Reserve offering is cold fermented, enhancing the natural, distinctive Sauvignon Blanc characteristics. The result is an expressive, crisp wine with notes of gooseberry, fig, grapefruit and starfruit. The nose welcomes you with a kiss of key lime and a wisp of juniper.

Made in stainless steel tanks to enhance the natural, distinctive Sauvignon Blanc characteristic.
Harvest
The 2015 vintage was an unusually light vintage, yet a vintage very high in quality and concentration. The great weather, lead to the development of excellent flavours and structure. Though it was an earlier vintage, the growing season was of normal length due to the early bud break.
Winemaking
Grand Reserve is a winemaker ’s blend of our mountain, ridge, hillside and benchland grapes grown along California’s cool coastal appellations. We hand select grapes from our best estate vineyards and then monitor, taste and guide each individual lot throughout the winemaking process. Each lot is kept separate and crafted—boutique winery style.
