WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
One point of differentiation that was observed with the 2016 Sauvignon Blanc prior to harvest was the lower acidity levels. As the fruit developed, flavors were full and bright, but acids declined faster for the same potential alcohol seen in the past. With the goal to produce aromatic, vibrant, and fresh Sauvignon Blanc, the Star Lane winemaking team used several tools to ensure the consistency of freshness: slightly earlier harvest times, more stainless steel fermentation, and no secondary fermentation. All led to preservation of a classic Star Lane Sauvignon Blanc: clean, floral, fresh, and delicious.
