WINE DESCRIPTION

Illumination Sauvignon Blanc is a premium white wine produced by the renowned winemaker, Quintessa, in the Napa Valley appellation of California. The grapes are sourced from the winery's own vineyards, which are situated in the cool, coastal region of the appellation. The vineyards are characterized by their well-draining soils and unique microclimate, which allows for slow ripening and optimal flavor development in the grapes. The winemaking process involves whole cluster pressing, aging in French oak barrels and concrete eggs, with lees stirring, resulting in a crisp and refreshing wine with complex and intense flavors. Illumination Sauvignon Blanc is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a high-quality, elegant white wine with a distinct sense of place.
