Sculpterra’s 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is an incredibly enjoyable tasting wine featuring clean, crisp tropical fruits with a rich and sleek mouthfeel and textured finish. This wine is perfectly balanced with both fresh and fruity flavors. For white wine, I’d say it’s light-medium-bodied and sports light thyme and cut-grass accents over plentiful cantaloupe with golden crisp apple flavors. Meyer and tangerine shine throughout the tasting experience. A snappy-tangy texture helps it pair widely with food. This delightful wine finds a good balance between tropical fruit richness and pungent citrus flair. The easy-going nature and fresh appeal make it easy to sip and enjoy all day long!
Our Sauvignon Blanc wine making protocol calls for delicate processing and quick bottling. It’s imperative to bottle the wine young in order to capture the freshest taste and aromatic intensity. The fruit was harvested overnight and delivered to the winery at first light. The fruit was impeccably clean in 2023, and we did not need to sort the grapes at the winery. The berries were pressed with a soft wine press, not exceeding 1.5 bars, and then the juice settled for 2 days before a clean rack and introduction of yeast for fermentation. During fermentation, the stainless fermentation tank was kept at a chilling 53 degrees for one full month. The wine completed primary fermentation by November 1 and was racked again into a new tank for bottling. We bottled 1,120 cases in total, making 2023 one of our biggest production years.
