Sauvignon Blanc
Vineyard
The grapes for the Flume Crossing Sauvignon Blanc are grown on the well-drained, sandy, cobblestone soils deposited by the Arroyo Seco River. These rugged soils keep yields in check and produce fruit with varietal intensity, minerality, and exceptional weight. The Flume Crossing Sauvignon Blanc is created to be an expression of pure varietal character, influenced only by its terroir and gently guided by minimal farming and winemaking practices.
Vintage
The 2024 growing season in the Arroyo Seco was a uniquely long one, with very cool temperatures during the spring. The cool temperatures enhanced the grapefruit, fig, lime, and sweet herb flavors in the grapes and retained the fresh acidity, while the afternoon winds slowed maturity of the grapes in September and increased their texture. Harvesting of the Sauvignon Blanc began in mid-September; each block was picked at optimal ripeness until October 5th, giving the final blend the full spectrum of the variety’s possible flavors.
