2016 Tenor Sauvignon Blanc

With the Tenor Sauvignon Blanc, we set out to create a wildly different white wine. Something that would be a little out there, very intriguing, but still remarkably approachable. To accomplish this, we pushed many of our processes and techniques to an extreme. It’s not unheard of to create a 100% Sauvignon Blanc, or to barrel ferment it, or to do it in 100% new oak, or even to macerate the grapes. But to do all of those things, and to let the maceration continue for 24-48hrs (much longer than traditionally done) results in a truly unique wine, with the intensity and depth of character of typical Tenor wines. It also enables us to deliver a sauvignon blanc that is able to age for 10 years and still maintain its structure and freshness.
