WINE DESCRIPTION
Since 1982, Duckhorn Vineyards has been producing Sauvignon Blanc sourced from our own estates and select vineyard locations in California's North Coast. This refined and opulent Sauvignon Blanc is skillfully combined with Sémillon to enhance its depth and intricacy. The fermentation and aging process takes place in both stainless steel and French oak, resulting in a wine that presents luscious citrus and tropical notes, invigorating acidity, and a silky texture influenced by Sémillon.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Duckhorn North Coast Sauvignon Blanc is a delightful expression of this popular white wine varietal.It displays a pale straw color with hints of green, indicating its youthful nature. On the nose, vibrant aromas of citrus fruits such as grapefruit and lemon zest take center stage, accompanied by subtle floral notes and a touch of freshly cut grass.
On the palate, this Sauvignon Blanc offers a refreshing and crisp mouthfeel. The citrus flavors continue to dominate, with the addition of tropical fruit notes like pineapple and passionfruit, adding complexity and depth. There is a pleasant acidity that balances the fruitiness, providing a lively and zesty sensation.
The wine finishes with a clean and lingering aftertaste, leaving a refreshing sensation on the palate. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, including seafood, salads, and light poultry dishes.

ORIGINS
Winery: Duckhorn
Region: North Coast California
The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines.
The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.CUSTOMER RATING
