Our 2024 growing season delivered us a fantastic Sauvignon Blanc. With lovely aromatics and flavors of Bartlett pear, Meyer lemon, and honeydew melon accentuated by a subtle grassiness and soft minerality. The bright yet balanced acid profile is underscored by a subtle, smooth mouthfeel, which contributes to a vibrant and focused finish making it the ideal springtime wine!
Stuhlmuller Vineyards, located in southern Alexander Valley, converges with two highly regarded Sonoma County appellations, Chalk Hill and Russian River Valley. On its eastern edge, the 150-acre vineyard borders the Russian River. Situated in a location that is part river benchlands and part hillside, the vineyard benefits from its alluvial gravel soils and the rockier soils of the hillside sections.
Our take on the crisp and refreshing varietal began with pressing 100% wholeclusters and settling the juice for 48 hours. Fermentation occurrs in a stainless-steel tank for a duration of 35 days,with an average temperature of 60⁰F.The wine was racked off fermentation lees and transferred to a large format French oak cask, neutral French oak,and acacia barrel fermentation.
