Flat Top Hills Cellars 2022/23 Sauvignon Blanc

Hailing from California, where the warm days and cooling influences of coastal and inland microclimates helped the grapes reach full flavor development while preserving lively acidity. Sauvignon Blanc is typically harvested relatively early to capture its bright aromatics and zesty freshness; gentle pressing and cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserve primary fruit character and varietal purity. The wine undergoes minimal oak influence, allowing its citrus-driven profile and crisp structure to shine. The focus during vinification is on maintaining clean fruit expression and balance, resulting in a wine that is approachable yet reflective of its Californian roots.

Tasting Notes:
This Sauvignon Blanc is fresh and aromatic, with a nose that features jasmine, lemon zest, and generous citrus presence. The palate delivers vibrant flavors of key lime pie, mandarin orange, lemon, lime, and hints of melon and tropical fruit, all carried by juicy acidity and a crisp, balanced finish. Mineral and wet-stone elements contribute nuance, while the overall impression is lively, refreshing, and food-friendly.
