WINE DESCRIPTION
High Valley Sauvignon Blanc is a premium white wine produced by Shannon Ridge Family of Wines. The grapes are sourced from the High Valley Appellation, located in the northernmost region of California's Lake County. The vineyards are situated at high elevations, ranging from 1,600 to 3,000 feet, which results in cooler temperatures and longer growing seasons. This allows the grapes to develop complex flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing and cool fermentation to preserve the delicate fruit flavors. The resulting wine is crisp, refreshing, and vibrant, with notes of citrus, tropical fruit, and a hint of minerality. It is a perfect wine to pair with seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.

ORIGINS
Winery: High Valley
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
