Star Lane Sauvignon Blanc (75cl)

A 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara, grown on the Star Lane Vineyard estate. It is made with a dual-fermentation approach, combining stainless steel and neutral French oak sets. Whole clusters go direct to press through a slow press cycle, with slightly earlier harvest times, increased stainless steel fermentation and no secondary malolactic fermentation. A portion of the juice is fermented in neutral French oak barrels for textural richness without overt wood influence. The nose shows lemon zest, mandarin peel, freesia, ripe peach, gooseberry and wild thyme. The palate carries guava and nectarine with clean minerality, lemon curd and subtle creamy roundness, finishing crisp with dried thyme and a mineral backbone.
