2022 Watermill Columbia Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Vineyard and Terroir
Sourced from the celebrated Columbia Valley, this Sauvignon Blanc benefits from the region’s ideal conditions for growing vibrant, aromatic white wines. Warm, sunny days develop concentrated fruit flavors, while cool nights help preserve bright acidity. Well-drained soils further contribute to balanced ripening, resulting in a crisp, refreshing wine with lively citrus character.
Harvest and Production
To highlight freshness and complexity, 60% of the wine was fermented in concrete vessels, enhancing mouthfeel and texture. The remaining 40% was fermented in stainless steel to preserve the wine’s crisp, fruit-driven style. Following fermentation, the wine was blended and aged in concrete for three months before bottling, resulting in a balanced, vibrant Sauvignon Blanc with refined texture and purity.
Tasting Notes
This Sauvignon Blanc opens with bright aromas of zesty lime and fresh grapefruit, followed by subtle tropical fruit and mineral notes. The palate is crisp and lively, delivering a refreshing burst of citrus flavors balanced by a clean, palate-cleansing finish. Concrete fermentation adds a soft, rounded texture, while stainless steel preserves the wine’s vibrant fruit and bright acidity. This wine is a refreshing and versatile choice for any occasion, perfect for warm-weather sipping or pairing with seafood, fresh salads, and light poultry dishes.
