Harvest and Production
This 2022 Sauvignon Blanc was carefully crafted to capture the essence of the Columbia Valley. The grapes were fermented 100% in concrete eggs, which enhances the wine’s mouthfeel and preserves its fresh fruit character. The fermentation process lasted 24 days, followed by an extended period of time on its lees. After racking clean, the wine was aged for another 2 months on its lees, resulting in a total of 4 months in concrete eggs.
Terroir
The Schmidt Vineyard's terroir plays a crucial role in the wine's profile. The vineyard's well-drained soils and ideal climatic conditions contribute to the wine's vibrant acidity and expressive fruit flavors. The unique terroir imparts distinct characteristics, making this Sauvignon Blanc a true reflection of its origin.
