Root:1 Sauvignon Blanc
Wine Description
The 2013 season was characterized by low temperatures and a lack of rainfall during the grape ripening period. As a result, the grapes were harvested later than normal in order to ensure the good aromatic potential, and were exceptionally healthy.
The Sauvignon Blanc harvest began in mid-April and the grapes were very high in quality with rich aromatics and excellent sugar and phenol levels. The wines for this vintage are vibrant, with fresh flavors and outstanding complexity.
