2023 Ankora Sauvignon Blanc
On the nose this Sauvignon Blanc expresses cardamom, lemon rind, dry hay and chives. On the palate a mix of preserved lemon, dried pineapple and citron are underpinned by a current of mineral slate and lemon pith.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Sauvignon Blanc sourced from a vineyard along Hecker Pass Road in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Winemaker Notes
Grapes were hand harvested in the early morning hours and went directly to the press to preserve aromatics. The resultant juice was left to settle for 48 hours after which it was racked cleanly to a new tank for fermentation. Fermentation took place in a stainless-steel tank at 50 degrees for approximately 4 weeks. The wine was then racked to a combination of stainless-steel barrels and neutral oak barrels to age for 4 months. Bottled in March 2024.
Food Pairing Notes
Our Sauvignon Blanc will pair beautifully with grilled shellfish, cream or butter based pasta sauces and firm aged cheeses such as Manchego.
