WINE DESCRIPTION

Ballard Lane Sauvignon Blanc is a refreshing and crisp white wine produced by the Ballard Lane Winery. This wine is made from grapes grown in the renowned Central Coast appellation, known for its cool climate and ideal growing conditions for Sauvignon Blanc. The vineyards are situated near the Pacific Ocean, which provides a unique maritime influence on the grapes, resulting in a wine with bright acidity and a distinct minerality. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes and gentle pressing to preserve the delicate flavors and aromas. The wine is then aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain its freshness and fruitiness. Ballard Lane Sauvignon Blanc is a perfect choice for those who enjoy a lively and zesty wine with notes of citrus, green apple, and tropical fruit.

ORIGINS

Winery: Ballard Lane

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
