Lomita Sauvignon Blanc
WHY WE LOVE IT
Varietal Composition: 90% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% French Colombard
Elaboration: Fermented in stainless steel tanks for 4 weeks, racked and then aged in stainless steel for an additional 10 months.
Tasting Notes: Always a refreshing and exceedingly accessible Sauvignon Blanc, this wine takes you on a drive through orchards of tropical fruits, citrus blossoms, and an herb garden before leaving you lying on your back on a freshly cut lawn, smelling the fresh spring air in the light of the setting sun. Bright acidity and a light body allow this vintage to lift off the palate.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND
Hacienda La Lomita was founded in 2009 by Fernando Pérez Castro in the heart of Valle de Guadalupe, Baja, Mexico, north of Ensenada and approximately nine miles from the Pacific near the village of San Antonio de las Minas.
The winery and its estate vineyards are on a northwestern-facing slope in the ejido of Francisco Zarco. Ejido refers to village lands that are communally held in a traditional system of land tenure that combines communal ownership with individual use. The estate grows some of the region’s oldest vines.
The estate has practiced organic viticulture since 2012 and is one of the region’s few certified organic wineries. The vineyard sits at about 1,000 feet in elevation with a soil profile consisting of a mix of clay and granite.
