2008 Sauvignon Blanc, Oakville ~

Teaderman Vineyards 2008 Sauvignon Blanc is grown entirely on our estate in the heart of Napa Valley’s Oakville American Viticultural Area. This wine displays tropical guava, bright Meyer lemon and an appealing grassiness balanced by hints of toast from partial fermentation and aging in French oak. Crisp acidity and a medium body make this Sauvignon Blanc the perfect pair for a variety of salads, grilled chicken or pork, and roasted vegetables.

After gentle hand harvest, we press the Sauvignon Blanc grapes as whole clusters in our membrane press. We then allow them to cold settle in a stainless steel tank, where fermentation begins. When the wine reaches 16 Brix, we transfer it into barrels (20% new French oak) to finish fermenting. The wine ages on its yeast lees for nine months with batonage (hand stirring) during the first four months to re-suspend the lees and encourage a creamy texture.
