Beckmen Sauvignon Blanc (75cl, 13%)

Beckmen Sauvignon Blanc is a biodynamic, stainless-steel-fermented white wine from Santa Ynez Valley, California, made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Beckmen Vineyards was founded in 1994 and the fruit comes from Purisima Mountain Vineyard, which holds DEMETER Certified Biodynamic status. The wine is whole-cluster pressed, cold-settled for 48 hours and fermented with VL3 and X-5 yeast strains, with sulfur dioxide added after primary fermentation to prevent malolactic fermentation. The nose shows lemon-lime zest, grapefruit peel, citrus blossom, passionfruit, green apple, sage, tomato leaf and dried herbs. The palate has candied lemon, pink grapefruit, passionfruit, jasmine and citrus confit on a medium-bodied frame. The finish is long with cut grass, dried herbs and chalky minerality.
