DiStefano Sauvignon Blanc (75cl)

DiStefano Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine from Columbia Valley, Washington State, bottled at 14+% ABV in a 750ml format. It is produced in limited quantities of roughly 1,200 cases per vintage. The wine is distinguished by the addition of Semillon, which adds body and spice while retaining the varietal's freshness, a technique more commonly associated with white Bordeaux blends. Fruit is sourced from vineyards across Yakima Valley, Columbia Valley, the Wahluke Slope and Horse Heaven Hills, including Willard, Roza Hills, Bacchus, Dionysus, Rosebud, Weinbau and Alder Ridge. On the nose, orange blossoms and honeysuckle lead into ripe citrus rind and powdered sugar, with baking spices and a grassy note beneath. The palate brings ripe melon, tangerine, tropical fruit, pear and fresh herbs, with honey and citrus blossom from the Semillon. The finish is medium-length with tangerine peel and gentle spice.
