WINE DESCRIPTION
Presqu'ile Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine from California made from the popular Sauvignon Blanc grape. All of the fruit comes from estate vineyards in the Santa Maria Valley AVA where the coastal proximity results in fresher aicdity and a more citric fruit profile than is normall found in sunny California. The focus here is on quality and creating a superior example of the variety that goes beyond an everyday drinker. The winemaking relies on a native yeast ferment and the use of equal amounts neutral French oak, concrete eggs and stainless stell to provide a textural wine with layered nuances. This is serious Sauvignon Blanc for those who enjoy wines of distinction. It also represents great value for money when compare to many wines from classic Sauvignon Blanc regions such as Marlborough and Sancerre.

ORIGINS
Winery: Presqu'ile
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.CUSTOMER RATING
