ROUTESTOCK ROUTE 29 SAUVIGNON BLANC 2023

RouteStock's 2023 Sauvignon Blanc showcases the distinctive terroir of Napa Valley, where sustainably farmed vineyards in Carneros and east of Yountville thrive in predominantly sandy loam and clay soils. After a challenging few years, the 2023 vintage benefited from a wet winter and consistently cool temperatures, creating ideal growing conditions. This bright 13.5% ABV wine undergoes a unique triple fermentation process—15% in stainless steel, 15% in concrete eggs, and 70% in neutral French oak—creating exceptional complexity and texture. The resulting blend (96% Sauvignon Blanc, 4% Semillon) bursts with aromatic herbs like oregano and thyme, alongside vibrant fig and grapefruit notes. On the palate, it delivers refreshing honeydew melon, nectarine, and white grapefruit flavors with a texture that simultaneously coats the mouth and remains brilliantly fresh through its lingering finish.
