Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley 2012

At Alpha Omega, our goal is to create a balance between Bordeaux-style Sauvignon Blanc, which we barrel fermented to give more of a mouth feel, and a New Zealand-style Sauvignon Blanc, which is crisp, fresh and expressive. Sauvignon Blanc is a varietal with a high acidity, so we never allow it to go through Malolactic Fermentation to ensure we keep the backbone of freshness and the varietal’s fragile aromatics.

Subtotal: $0.00

Winemaker Notes:

The 2012 has proven to be a vintage of extremes. This is not because of frost, heat or rain, but mainly due to the quantity of fruit that was hanging on the vines. The growing season was ideal with no frost to speak of, a mild spring, and a very temperate, long growing season that allowed our Sauvignon Blanc to ripen to its optimum condition - with concentration, intense flavors and high acidity.
