Luxana 2020 Sauvignon Blanc North Coast, California

Description

With romantic rolling hills and winding roads, the North Coast appellation of California’s wine country is idyllic. Vineyards planted in the region sit at high elevations and on valley floors, making the area incredibly unique in how it grows fruit. The climate is classically Californian—dry, hot days that showcase sunny skies allow fruit to ripen fully. A steep drop in temperatures at night offers grapes a chance to rest and develop elegant natural acidity and concentrated flavors. Our 2020 Luxana Sauvignon Blanc is a near-perfect reflection of the dramatic effect that the terroir has on the final wines that come out of the region. This wine is a more serious version of the fan-favorite varietal and features a unique flavor profile. It was aged in neutral oak barrels and saw lees contact, an aging technique that winemakers frequently use in more robust white varietals like Chardonnay that enhances structure and brings out beautiful aromas. The result is a boldly fruit-forward flavor profile with perfectly crisp high acidity. You’ll go back for another glass—we guarantee it!
