Our vineyard, in Napa Valley&#8217;s cool southernmost appellation, is just one mile from San Francisco/San Pablo Bay. Three distinct clones of Sauvignon Blanc provide individual characteristics in this layered, complex wine. Grapes are carefully sorted to eliminate imperfections and then gently whole-cluster pressed. The resulting juice is clean and intense, with rich flavor and mouthwatering acidity .</p> <p>The wine was fermented in 60% small stainless steel barrels and 40% French oak ch&#226;teau barrels (25% new oak). The small stainless barrels bring a vibrant acidity to the wine and protect the lively varietal character of the Sauvignon Blanc which offers un bouquet of tropical notes, lime, grape fruit and citrus; on the other hand, the wine that was fermented and aged in oak contributes additional structure with a round mid-palate and long finish.</p> <p>Aged on the lees for eight months and stirred frequently, some barrels have accomplished the malolatic fermentation to give more complexity to the blend. This Sauvignon Blanc is meant to be enjoyed now, while some time in the bottle will enhance the wine&#8217;s delicious mineral characteristics. </p> <p>100% Sauvignon Blanc<br /> Release Date: Summer 2008<br /> Harvest Dates: September 12-18, 2007<br /> Cases Produced: 496</p></P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/hartwell/Category1" TITLE="Current Releases">Current Releases</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/hartwell/Product39 TITLE="2005 Estate Merlot">2005 Estate Merlot</A> -- Limited production jewel <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/hartwell/Product44 TITLE="2005 Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon">2005 Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon</A> -- 95 Points, Wine Spectator <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/hartwell/Product42 TITLE="2005 Miste Hill Cabernet Sauvignon">2005 Miste Hill Cabernet Sauvignon</A> -- Rated 93 Points by Wine Spectator <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/hartwell/Product56 TITLE="2006 Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon">2006 Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon</A> -- New Release <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/hartwell/Product57 TITLE="2006 Miste Hill Cabernet Sauvignon">2006 Miste Hill Cabernet Sauvignon</A> -- New Release <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/hartwell/Product58 TITLE="2008 Estate Sauvignon Blanc">2008 Estate Sauvignon Blanc</A> -- New Release </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/hartwell" TITLE="Hartwell Vineyards Products">Hartwell Vineyards Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.hartwellvineyards.com">Hartwell Vineyards</A> <BR>Hartwell Vineyards <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart">shopping cart</A> powered by Nexternal
