Wölffer Estate “Summer in a Bottle” Sauvignon Blanc
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Between the abundance of intense sun and cooling maritime sea breeze, Long Island provides the perfect setting to make the most fantastic Sauvignon Blanc.
- This wine is 97% Sauvignon Blanc from 5 specific blocks and 3% Pinot Blanc
Varietal Composition: 97% Sauvignon Blanc, 3% Pinot Blanc
Tasting Notes: The color is pale shinny yellow. The aroma is delicate with fine gooseberries, fresh dandelions, and lime. The mouthfeel is elegant yet vibrant with fine green apple notes and great balance between the nice fruit, like ripe kiwi and honeydew melon and the playful acidity. There are nice layers of skin characters and lovely lees notes backed by classic minerality giving great structure to the long lip-smacking finish.
