Estancia Sauvignon Blanc 2021 Monterey County (75cl, 13.1%)

Estancia Sauvignon Blanc is a dry, medium-bodied white wine from Monterey County, California, bottled at 13.1% ABV in a 750ml format. The 2021 vintage earned 89 points from Wine Enthusiast. The fruit comes from vineyards where cool Pacific air, channelled by a massive underwater canyon in Monterey Bay, slows ripening and preserves bright acidity and aromatic intensity. The winery uses whole-cluster fermentation, gentle punch downs and barrel fermentation. The nose shows fresh-cut grass, passionfruit, grapefruit peel, orange blossom and lemongrass. The palate is crisp and bright, with green apple, ripe citrus, pineapple, honeydew melon, a mineral thread, lemon chiffon and golden delicious apple. The finish is medium in length, clean and refreshing, with lime zest and mineral notes.
