HERITANCE SAUVIGNON BLANC A commitment to classic Napa Valley style sets Heritance wines apart and deeply roots them in America’s most celebrated wine region. The name Heritance is fittingly derived from a combination of 'heritage' and 'inheritance,' signifying the start of a new tradition and the continuation of an enduring legacy. The valley oak pictured on the label, a familiar sight in any Napa landscape, represents the Taub family’s deep wine industry roots in California and further reinforces the wines connection with its provenance. The diamond at the base of the tree symbolizes the seed that remains planted for future generations. Under the experienced eye of chief winemaker Tom Hinde, Heritance wines uphold a tradition of elegance. The winery represents the best sites in St. Helena, Yountville, Oakville and Rutherford including Cabernet Sauvignon from the renowned Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard.

PRODUCTION AREA Country: United States Region: Napa Valley, CA

This Sauvignon Blanc comes from vineyards in Oakville, Rutherford, and St. Helena. The variety of growing sites and soils, which are well-drained and gravelly, lends complexity. The Semillon is from St. Helena, grown in soil of well-drained gravel and alluvial-loam.

GRAPE VARIETIES 93% Sauvignon Blanc, 7% Semillon

PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES The grapes were hand harvested in mid-September. This wine was 95% stainless steel fermented below 60˚F which made for a slow fermentation. The wine was kept on their lees to soften the relatively high acidity and impart some creamy complexity. The remaining 5% was barrel fermented and aged sur lies before blending into the larger lot for added complexity.

DESCRIPTION Color: Pale lemon-green Aroma: Tropical fruit, Meyer lemon and pineapple, with hints of orange blossom. Taste: Nuances of melon and Asian pear which gives way to good acidity and crispness followed by a smooth lingering finish.

ANALYSIS Alc.: 13.5% TA: 5.9 g/L pH: 3.20 RS: dry

SERVING SUGGESTIONS Sauvignon Blanc is a very food-friendly wine. Summer favorite for small bites such as grilled artichoke with garlic aioli and fragrant salads like Greek or Caesar. It is the quintessential pairing with seafood as well as goats milk cheese like Selles-sur-Chee and could also pair with chicken or pork.
