Bernardus Sauvignon Blanc-2024 Griva Vineyard

Bernardus Sauvignon Blanc-2024 Griva Vineyard winery price $28.00

All our Sauvignon Blanc grapes come from a block specially planted for Bernardus in the Griva Vineyard with the celebrated “Musqué” clone. 

Our Sauvignon Blanc grapes are hand-picked during many successive pickings at various ripeness levels to create a broad palette of flavors and acidity levels to create our final blend.

Fermentation and aging: We ferment our Griva Sauvignon Blanc at cool temperature in stainless steel tanks.  It is then aged for several months in large, neutral 30-year-old French oak tanks to encourage integration of flavors. We use 3 specially selected yeasts, each one adding a unique flavor profile which enhances the complexity of the final blend.

 Tasting notes:  Our 2024 Signature Griva bottling has aromas of lime zest and lemon curd accented by notes of grassy minerality. The palate exhibits full flavors, hints of tropical fruit with meyer lemon, grapefruit, and a rich mouthfeel are supported by refreshing acidity.

This year our Griva Sauvignon Blanc is 100% Sauvignon Blanc with no added Semillon. It was so expressive we decided to bottle it pure.
