Bevill Vineyard

Dry Creek Valley

100% Sauvignon Blanc

We have been making Sauvignon Blanc from Duff Bevill’s vineyard for several years and are pleased to announce that this year it has been elevated to one of our Vineyard Designated wines.

Our 2008 Bevill Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is bright, brisk and bursting with flavor. Aromas of lime, tropical fruit and orange zest are followed by fresh flavors of ripe melon and citrus. The flavors finish with mouthwatering acidity. The wide variety of flavors and aromatics was enhanced by removing the leaves from only the morning-sun side of the vines. This work in the vineyard allowed some of the fruit to be fully exposed to the temperate morning sun and successfully encouraged the development of an incredibly wide variety of the aromatics we look for in Sauvignon Blanc.

All of the wine was fermented at a cool temperature in stainless steel. When the fermentation was almost complete 38% of the wine was transferred to three-year old French oak barrels for its final week of fermentation. This time spent in barrels helped to add a round texture and the long lingering flavors.

The perfect accompaniment to a warm summer afternoon, and an excellent pairing with oysters on the half shell, grilled prawns or pan seared scallops.
