2022 King Estate Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes

A nose of bright fruit showcases aromatics of lemon, tangerine, pineapple, gooseberry and plumeria with subtle boxwood and stone fruit notes. Flavors ar grapefruit and citrus fruits, white peach, lemon curd, kiwi, blossom, some mango and damp slate. The entry is flavorful with bright acidity. Fruity and well balanced on the palate, this quenching wine stimulates the taste buds and lingers on the finish.

Vineyard Notes

King Estate’s Sauvignon Blanc showcases our favorite characteristics of this varietal from the two regions in the world most famous for it: New Zealan and Sancerre in France. New Zealand brings fresh, fruit-forward flavors. The French style is rich with more minerality. Drawing from each region, King Estate has crafted a uniquely Oregon style that is redefining how we think about Sauvignon Blanc.

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.
