Mason Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Our Mason 2022 Sauvignon Blanc greets the nose with grapefruit, floral and honeysuckle. The bright, refreshing, silky palate offers grapefruit and minerality leading into a long, bright finish. This wine is a stunner with extraordinary mouthfeel and texture.

A cooling ocean breeze and morning fog during the warm growing season make Napa Valley an ideal climate for our Sauvignon Blanc. Grapes for the Mason Sauvignon Blanc are certified organic and exclusively sourced from the Yount Mill Vineyard. Vines are planted to a split trellis system and leaves are pulled on the morning side and left alone on the afternoon side. This technique gives a nice mixture of green and gold colored fruit for complex flavor profiles. These grapes were picked between 22.4° and 23° Brix

Our perfectly ripe Sauvignon Blanc grapes arrived at our winery after an early morning harvest. After being crushed and fermented at a cool 50°F for 30–35 days, 18% of wine was put down to stainless steel drums. The fermentation lees from the tank were distributed across these drums and stirred 3 times a week for 3 months. The wine was then blended and bottled. The cold fermentation accentuates the fruit and retains the beautiful aromatic qualities and crisp acidity of the Sauvignon Blanc grape. The lees contact texturally helps the mouthfeel and the finish.
