2024 Illumination by Quintessa Sauvignon Blanc

58% Sauvignon Blanc, 28% Sauvignon Blanc Musqué, and 14% Sémillon. Farming is organic and biodynamic. 55% of the fruit is from Napa County and 45% from Sonoma County. The fruit is hand picked, whole cluster pressed, and fermented with native yeasts in a combination of French oak barrels (new and neutral) for depth and a hint of oak spice; acacia barrels for complex floral spice on the nose; stainless-steel barrels for purity of fruit; and egg-shaped concrete fermenters for fresh aromas and richness on the palate. Shows a remarkable depth of flavor. Aromas of Meyer lemon zest, white peach, yuzu, honeysuckle, orange blossom, and crystallized ginger are all elevated by a lovely acidity. A savory minerality layers itself among the appealing fruit flavors and hints at the complexity that will continue to reveal itself as the wine ages. 14% alcohol.
