ON Y VA Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc FAQ the WINE and THE ON Y VA Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc FAQ THE WINE AND THE STORY What is ON Y VA Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc? Exceptional French wine in a chic, slim can sourced from a family-owned estate in Loire Valley, a wine region celebrated around the world for its majestic white wines. Easy to grab-and-go or stash in a backpack, ON Y VA Vin de France is wine that fits your active lifestyle. What’s behind the “ON Y VA” name? “On Y Va” is a casual French expression meaning “Let’s go!” It’s the perfect name for premium French wine that goes where you go, from hiking and beach strolls to park picnics and outdoor concerts to relaxing on the porch sans corkscrew, sans glassware, sans hassle. Created by the outdoorsy husband-wife team Alex and Julie Milligan (a French wine importer and copywriter), ON Y VA embodies a romance with the French countryside, a passion for fine wine, a love of outdoor play and a desire to unplug more and savor simple but spectacular moments— sunrise to sunset—with the ones we love. This couple knows first-hand that delicious French wine makes every amazing view even better. How do you pronounce ON Y VA? Just say “on-knee-vah” and you’ve got it – you’re speaking French. You quick study, you! Why Is ON Y VA Arriving Now? ON Y VA cans come to life with the 2018 vintage. Harvested in autumn 2018, and canned in spring 2019, this is an exciting vintage with which to launch—2018 has been called a historic Loire Valley vintage, with incredible quality coming from the vines. The 2018 vintage produced highly aromatic, flavorful wines. It’s been said that even the winegrowers scarcely remember a better Loire Valley harvest.* What’s ON Y VA’s story? When brainstorming their vision for ON Y VA, two important life moments kept popping up. The first, flashes of Alex and Julie’s first magical trip to the French countryside together. The second, the moment they got engaged during a hike, drinking fine wine and eating Époisses on baguettes. They’ve had amazing moments over wine. ON Y VA encourages everyone to find their moment of joy, of bliss, of that-sunset-is-so-beautiful-and-I-am-so-happy-right-now. That moment no one can take away from you. Ever. THE DETAILS How much alcohol is in ON Y VA Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc? ON Y VA Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc contains 12.5 % alcohol by volume. How much wine is in a single slim can? Each ON Y VA slim can contains 250 ml of wine, which is just more than 8 ounces, or 2 wine glasses of 4.2 ounces each. Three cans equal a bottle of wine, which is 750mL. So, when you pick up an ON Y VA 4-pack, you’re getting more than a bottle of vin! What grapes is ON Y VA Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc made from? ON Y VA Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc is made from 100 percent Sauvignon Blanc (a green-skinned grape). The Sauvignon Blanc grape originated in the Bordeaux region of France. Sauvignon Blanc, formed from the French sauvage, means Wild White. From Bordeaux, the grape journeyed north to the Loire Valley region of France. What are tasting notes for ON Y VA Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2018? ON Y VA Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2018 is a fresh, bright white wine that seamlessly balances refreshing citrus, grapefruit and gooseberry notes. A dash of thyme adds some lovely herbal notes, while a flinty spine keeps the finish going strong. It’s crisp, fresh and sublime, with a crisp pucker. Who makes ON Y VA Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc? A family-owned Domaine (or, vineyard estate that makes wine from its own grapes) in Eastern Loire Valley that dates back generations of winemakers. Only estate fruit is used to make ON Y VA, meaning it is not made from négociants or co-op juice. Does the can affect the taste of the wine? No. This wouldn’t be worth doing unless our wine still tasted delicious out of an aluminum can. When wine goes directly into a can, it has no exposure to light, so the wine maintains its highest quality. It’s as if the wine were still at the tank at the winery. Aluminum cans are air-tight, light-proof and unbreakable. With cans, there is also no so-called “cork taint,” or disease that infects natural cork and makes wine smell like wet cardboard. Will the wine taste tinny? No, never. ON Y VA Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc wine in cans does not taste tinny. All aluminum cans used to package beverages are coated on the inside to prevent the beverage from coming in contact with the aluminum. How long will ON Y VA stay fresh? Canned wine is excellent for many reasons, but not for aging in your cellar. The shelf-life of a can is two years. An opened can will stay fresh for two to three days refrigerated THE LIFESTYLE Why the Can? • It goes where you go – easily! It’s light. It’s portable. It’s unbreakable. It’s efficient and not wasteful. With ON Y VA, we finally have premium wine to take along on hikes, picnics, strolls, beach days, pool days, bike rides, canoeing, outdoor concerts, you-name-it outdoor adventure. • A lot of the best places prohibit glass—pools, beaches, parks, sporting events—but do not prohibit cans. • Even when glass is allowed, you may not have (or be able to find) all the tools you need to open and share—the corkscrew, the cups. • And though no one may stop you from hiking with a wine bottle, glass shards can really put a damper on a day. • Slim cans are also single-serve, so you never have to open a whole bottle when all you want is a glass or two. This saves us all pouring half-empty bottles down the drain days after opened because the wine oxidized, or lost its freshness. • Single-size servings also allow for better portion control. Why Loire Valley? The Loire Valley is known as the Garden of France, and for good reason. It’s a lush wine region of fertile soils and white wines as majestic as its renowned chateaux. Loire Valley is one of our favorite places, and it’s a wine region renowned across the globe for its top-quality white wines including Sauvignon Blanc— arguably the best in the world. SUSTAINABILITY Are wine cans eco-friendly? Yes. Cans are the most recycled drinks container.** On average, consumers recycle 45% of aluminum cans vs. 25% of glass bottles and 2/3 of the aluminum ever produced is still in use today.*** Our cans are 100% recyclable. Aluminum cans can be recycled over and over again without degrading. Recycle is the third R, after Reduce and Reuse, and there is still more all of us can do to help ensure even more cans are recycled. Why recycling matters? Used aluminum cans are recycled and returned to store shelves in as few as 60 days. Recycling aluminum cans saves 95% of the energy used to make aluminum cans from virgin materials.**** What about the can carriers? We thought about boxes, then thought about the huge piles of clunky cardboard households collect every week, unwrapping online deliveries, and decided against it. Our can carriers are made by a family-owned company headquartered in Eugene, Oregon from #2 plastic, the most universally recyclable plastic available for consumer use. All carriers are stamped with #2, as well as the message, Please Recycle, which is also printed on our cans. The company we work with uses 100% recycled plastic that is also 100% recyclable, so full-circle sustainability, which reduces the amount of new plastic being manufactured and elevates them above their competition. Does the can carrier trap fish? No. The solid top rings on the can carriers were created to prevent fish from getting ensnared, as the loops in old-school can carriers did. FINDING ON Y VA Where can I buy ON Y VA Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc cans? ON Y VA cans launch in New York City May 2019. We are on the streets every day getting our fantastic wine into exciting new NYC locations. In summer 2019, ON Y VA goes nationwide, working with a team of distributors. Check our map at DrinkOnYVa.com to stay up-to-date on our latest retail partners, or sign up for our newsletter at DrinkOnYVa.com to stay in-the-know.

Go to the News + Events tab at DrinkOnYVa.com to find upcoming tastings and cool events, or to sign up for our newsletter at DrinkOnYVa.com to learn about exclusive tastings, cool events and swag giveaways. DESIGN Tell us about the sleek can design. This project is long in the making! We first began tasting canned wines on the market the summer of 2018. We first began concepting our names and can designs back in the fall of 2018. We had many unique ideas, but we kept coming back to the design concept that showed real moments we had in France as a couple. We worked tirelessly with a talented designer in California to get the look and feel just right. Each can has a sleek white background and top, and visually brings to life real moments we had in France and real places (each can describes the wine region from which the wine comes).

  • Structure in Wine Steiia Thiast
    Structure in Wine steiia thiAst What is Structure? • So what is this thing, structure? It*s the sense you have that the wine has a well-established form,I think ofit as the architecture ofthe wine. A wine with a great structure will often remind me ofthe outlines of a cathedral, or the veins in a leaf...it supports, and balances the fiuit characteristics ofthe wine. The French often describe structure as the skeleton ofthe wine, as opposed to its flavor which they describe as the flesh. • Where does structure come firom? In white wines, it usually comes from alcohol or acidity; in red wines, it comes from a combination of acidity and tannin, a component in the grapes' skins and seeds. Thus, wines with a lot of tannin (like cabernet) also have a lot of structure. Beaujolais is made from gamay which does not have much tannin. As a result, Beaujolais can lack structure; it feels soft, flat or simple in the mouth (though its flavors can certainly still be attractive). • While structure is hard to articulate, you can easily taste or sense it —^and the lack of it. • Understanding structure is critical to understanding any ofthe ''powerful" red varieties: cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah, nebbiolo, tempranillo, and malbec, to name a few. I just don't think you can understand these wines unless you understand structure, and how it frames and focuses the powerful rush of fruit. It adds freshness, and a "lightness" to the density ofripe fiuit. Structure matters when pairing wine and food. Foods with a lot of structure themselves— like a meaty, thick steak-need wines with commensurate structure (like cabernet), or the food experience can dwarfthe wine experience.

  • 3 Sauvignon Blancs That Will Surprise You | Private Clubs Magazine
    From left, new sauvignon blancs from Vineyard 29, Lail Vineyards, and Melka Wines. BY MICHAEL KAPLAN | PHOTOGRAPHY BY GREG MILANO Think of your typical sauvignon blanc, and you probably recall a wine that echoes grapefruit and tastes fairly dry. Most likely, it's a refreshing sipper, perfect on a warm afternoon, not very serious, and priced accordingly. The old paradigm went that way, but things have changed. Recognizing a market for high-end domestic whites that go beyond chardonnay, California wineries have been increasingly releasing sauvignon blancs that bring heavyweight intent to a lightweight grape. Here, three fresh small-batch releases that exemplify the sauvignon blanc upgrade - and all produced for different Golden State wineries by the steady hand of freelance vintner and sauvignon blanc savior Philippe Melka, singled out by the New York Times for "making some of Napa's most influential wines." With their multiple flavor levels, these wines make you rethink what sauvignon blanc can be and take the grape into a pleasantly complex realm. 29 Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2011 Vineyard 29 St. Helena, Calif. I opened a bottle of 29 Estate to share with a couple of friends. Oyster shells littered the table and we had already worked through a pedestrian sauvignon blanc. My friend's wife took a sip and declared, "It's a white wine with the complexity of a red wine." Not a bad way of putting it. The Vineyard 29 offering is rich and full-bodied with citrus notes that you expect from a sauvignon blanc. But a lot more goes on.

The Loire Valley — featuring a compelling line-up of distinctive grape varieties, high quality winemaking and large production volumes — is home to some of France’s most impressive wines. Nevertheless, it remains largely overlooked by the international wine drinking public. This makes the region a treasure trove of exceptional values, just waiting to be discovered.

We offer a straightforward vintage ratings table, which affords high-level insight into the best and most challenging years for wine production. • A Loire Valley wine label. We explain what to look for on a Loire Valley wine label and what it tells you about what’s in the bottle. • Map and appellation profiles.

  • Understanding South African Chenin Blanc Wine by Using Data Mining Techniques Applied to Published Sensory Data
    Understanding South African Chenin Blanc wine by using data mining techniques applied to published sensory data by Carlo Cesar Valente Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science at Stellenbosch University Institute of Wine Biotechnology, Faculty of AgriSciences Supervisor: Dr Helene Nieuwoudt Co-supervisor: Professor Florian Bauer March 2016 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: March 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Summary South African Chenin Blanc is the most planted grape cultivar in South Africa (SA) and is known for its versatility in wine sensory profiles. However, according to the South African wine industry, consumers are confused as to the different styles that make up Chenin Blanc wine. Currently, there are six different style classifications for South African Chenin Blanc wine that was proposed as a guideline by the Chenin Blanc Association (CBA). Previous research conducted at the University of Stellenbosch was aimed at evaluating these style classifications. Previous results showed that, when using a small sample set of commercial Chenin Blanc, only two clear style categories could be identified – Fresh and Fruity and Rich and Ripe Wooded.

  • Sauvignon Blanc SUSTAINABLY FARMED
    2015 100% ESTATE GROWN, PRODUCED AND BOTTLED. Sauvignon Blanc SUSTAINABLY FARMED. High Valley Appellation Our wines reflect the distinctiveness and diversity of their High Serenity Ranch sites – from the elevated valley floor of High Serenity Ranch to the raw and remote Volcano Ridge Vineyard. David Ramey WINEMAKING NOTES produced, family-owned, and estate-grown. Brassfield Estate wines are fruit-driven, balanced and delicious. FRUIT 100% Sauvignon Blanc VINEYARD Our home ranch, on the west side of High Valley Appellation, has been known as “High Serenity Ranch” for over one hundred years. Each block has been planted on well-drained gravelly loam soils with a mix of clone 1, clone 376, clone 530, and Musque. High Valley’s signature cooler growing conditions allow for longer hang-time, enhancing flavor development and acid retention in the juice and finished wine. WINEMAKING Grapes were harvested early each morning to ensure they were cold when they arrived to the winery for gentle pressing. After 24 hours of cold settling, the juice was racked off the heavy lees and was fermented 65% neutral French oak barrels and 35% in stainless steel tank. This Sauvignon Blanc is a native yeast fermentation, giving the wine a complex aromatic profile and layered mouth feel. AGING Sur lie aging lasted five months with battonage (lees stirring) every three weeks to create additional body, viscosity and elevated mouth feel in the resulting wine. TASTING NOTES The 2015 Sauvignon Blanc exhibits ripe, golden delicious apples that combine a lushness of flavor with a restraint provided by its natural and refreshing acidity.
