The 2016 Tenor Sauvignon Blanc was crafted from a single vineyard in Washington State along the Royal Slope in the Columbia Valley. Farmed using sustainable practices and then hand-harvested over several early mornings in the late fall. Upon arriving in the winery, each cluster was de-stemmed and hand-sorted again, then initially macerated in stainless steel tanks for 24-48 hours with twice-daily pump-overs. After pressing, the juice was allowed to settle out overnight before being immediately barreled in 100% oak. Using only free run wine, it was then moved to new French oak 300L barrels (50%) and stainless steel tanks (50%) for 8 months of cellaring. After over 40 individual evaluations by our winemaking team and without fining or filtration, only 170 cases were produced.
