Michael David Winery Sauvignon Blanc (75cl, 13%)

A crisp, stainless-steel-fermented California white wine from Michael David Winery, bottled at approximately 13% ABV in a 750ml format. Grapes are sourced from Lodi and Lake County. The fruit undergoes whole-cluster pressing on a gentle cycle, then cold settles before fermenting entirely in stainless steel at 45°F. A 1% addition of Semillon adds a touch of textural roundness. The aroma shows apple blossom, white peach, ripe nectarine and Granny Smith apple. The palate is bright and citrus-driven, with lemon zest, white grapefruit, kiwi, star fruit and cantaloupe melon, plus cut grass and a faint hint of capsicum. The finish is crisp and dry, with lingering green apple and citrus pith.
