Round Pond Estate Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc (75cl)

This is a Sauvignon Blanc from Round Pond Estate, grown at the family's Rutherford estate in the Napa Valley. The winery sits among its own vineyards, so the fruit arrives cool and in good condition at harvest. The grapes are hand-sorted twice, and individual vineyard blocks are fermented and aged separately to keep their character. The nose is bright and tropical, with papaya, mango and honeydew melon. On the palate come white peach, ripe pear, Granny Smith apple and candied grapefruit. The finish is silky and mineral, with lime zest, mandarin orange and limestone lingering.
