Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Aveta Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Aveta Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine from Napa Valley, California, made by Stag's Leap Wine Cellars. The name comes from a water goddess often depicted carrying fruit, chosen to reflect bright energy and mineral structure. The wine is typically a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Musque, Semillon and Muscat Canelli, grown in alluvial soils at vineyards including Danika Ranch, Rancho Chimiles, Bravo Zulu and Ryan's Vineyard. The juice is fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks and older French oak barrels, then aged six to seven months on the lees with bi-monthly stirring. It shows mango, gooseberries, white peach, pineapple and green apple on the nose, with guava, lemongrass, melon and fig on the palate, and a long finish of fresh grass, yuzu, pomelo and a salty mineral edge.
