  • 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.

    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.

  • 2019 Herrenhof Lamprecht Pinot Blanc Sand & Lime
    2019 Herrenhof Lamprecht Pinot Blanc Sand & Lime Vulkanland, Austria Gottfried is very paced, formal, and soft-spoken on first impression. Then you see his art that adorns the cellar. My favorite is an explosion of color with “I am on fire” written in bold. Then you head out to the vineyard where he’s planted to over a 100 different grapes from scratch with a philosophy of “freestyle wine growing” and following his own self imposed Charta. Then you taste his red and white field blends and bringing historical grapes like Furmint back into the fold and they are in indeed also on fire. He is exponentially more than his initial impression and we are proud to be importing these into the US for the very first time with this shipment. The Lamprecht family owns what was once the Vorau Abbey until it closed at the end or the 19th Century as feudal law and many other politics changed. The monks did grow vineyards on the same slopes, but the land has been without grapes for many decades. In 2006 Gottfried starting planting block by block until reaching 9 hectares and has been certified organic from the start. He studied horticulture at the University of Vienna, but is more guided by the field blend tradition that was lost in the appellation as opposed to making pure mono varietal wines that is far more prevalent. Being able to start from scratch and control every element himself is what makes this producer special apart from the wines being delicious of course. VINEYARDS Gottfried is not without a dry sense of humor.

  • Trimbach “Classic” Pinot Blanc 2017
    TRIMBACH “CLASSIC” PINOT BLANC 2017 BACKGROUND The Trimbach’s have a purist vision. For three centuries and across 13 generations, the family has produced wines that are structured, long- lived, fruity, elegant and balanced: the celebrated Trimbach style. The family personally looks after each operation, from planting to harvests and from vinification to bottling. The viticultural origin of the Trimbach family dates back to 1626, when Jean Trimbach, was recognized as a citizen of Riquewihr. From then on, the Trimbach’s were renowned for their wine-growing. Maison Trimbach’s vineyards are all situated around Ribeauville (Ribeauville, Hunawihr, Bergheim, Rorschwihr, Riquewihr and Mittlewihr). They benefit from the unique Alsatian microclimate, thanks to the Vosges Mountains protection, which preserves the plain from the rain. The vineyards were planted on the Ribeauville’s fault line that fractured 50 million years ago between the Vosges Mountain range and the Black Forest offering a mosaic of terroirs including the complex calcareous limestone and bio-degraded seashell fossils called “Muschelkalk”. APPELLATION Alsace, France VINOUS 91 January 2019 VARIETAL COMPOSITION POINTS 70% Pinot Auxerrois, 30% Pinot Blanc 90 PTS WINE ENTHUSIAST 4/19 WINEMAKING & VINTAGE NOTES 90 PTS JAMES SUCKLING 8/19 Growers in Alsace usually grow two types of Pinot Grapes: Pinot Blanc, also called le “vrai Pinot,” which is quite green in color with higher acidity than its counterpart Auxerrois, which is originally from the Moselle region in France and has a more golden color and is fatter and richer than Pinot Blanc. Trimbach has found that the blend of these two produces a much better wine than if they are vinified separately.
