Two Angels Sauvignon Blanc (75cl, 14.2%)

A 100% Sauvignon Blanc from California's High Valley AVA, bottled at 14.2% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Produced by the Kreps family from grapes grown exclusively on the Shannon Ridge Estate, the vineyards sit at elevations between 1,360 and 2,000 feet on the slopes of Mount Konocti. The well-drained hillside soils and cooler daytime temperatures create ideal growing conditions, and the elevated terrain receives roughly 10% more UV light than neighbouring sea-level valleys. The wine blends fruit from both young and old Sauvignon Blanc vines. The nose shows bright guava and honeydew melon, white grapefruit, freshly cut grass and thyme. The palate is crisp and tangy, with lemon and lime, ripe pineapple and passionfruit, Granny Smith apple and green melon, balanced by vivid acidity. The finish is medium, with a clean citrus-driven close and lingering grapefruit sorbet and dried herbs.
