2021 King Estate Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes

A pale lemon color in the glass, the wine boasts bright notes of fruit on the nose – white peach, lemon, grapefruit and lychee – along with hints of minerality and the scent of cut grass. The palate opens up to similar flavors, showing nice acidity and fresh fruit to create a refreshing and balanced wine.

Vineyard Notes

King Estate presents this uniquely Oregon take on Sauvignon Blanc, showcasing our favorite characteristics of the wine from the two regions in the world most famous for it: New Zealand and Sancerre in France. New Zealand brings freshness and fruit-forward flavors and the French version is rich with more minerality. The result is a Pacific Northwest classic in the making.

Winemaker Notes

The majority of the fruit was fermented in stainless steel with the balance in concrete and neutral oak barrels. To preserve aromatics the wine was cool fermented. Following fermentation, the wine underwent weekly bâtonnage, where the settled lees are stirred back into the wine to build richness.
