Rombauer Sauvignon Blanc 2023 captures the essence of Sonoma and Napa Counties, where the vineyards benefit from abundant sunshine and moderate temperatures, producing exceptional fruit. The 2023 growing season, marked by replenishing winter rains and a long, steady ripening period, allowed the grapes to reach their optimal flavor and natural acidity. This vintage was crafted using sustainable farming practices and innovative winemaking techniques, such as fermenting in stainless steel tanks with a touch of neutral French oak and concrete tanks for added complexity.
On the nose, this Sauvignon Blanc opens with vibrant aromas of passion fruit, green melon, and a delicate hint of fresh-cut grass. The palate follows with bright flavors of kiwi, Key lime, and a refreshing burst of grapefruit, perfectly balanced by lively acidity. A crisp and linear structure leads to a long, invigorating finish, making each sip both refreshing and satisfying.
With an alcohol content of 14.2%, this wine is best enjoyed chilled and pairs beautifully with dishes like Pad Thai, fried fish tacos, or a classic Niçoise salad. Its vibrant flavors and fresh acidity make it an ideal choice for a casual meal or an elegant gathering.
