Tasting notes
Fermented and matured in a mix of stainless steel drums (60%) and 500-liter oak puncheons (40%), Inglenook's 2021 Sauvignon Blanc is a slightly pungent, boxwood-scented example of this wine, adding those cool nuances to the typical grassy, grapefruit-like notes and hints of pear. From vines planted near Highway 29, at the front of the property, it's medium-bodied and streamlined, with a refreshing, wet stone and citrus-inflected finish.

Full bottle 1,550 g. Contains 24% Sémillon. Aged for eight months sur lie in a combination of 42% stainless steel and 58% French oak (23% new). Certified organic. Aromas of lemon pith and white flowers. Flavours of lemon pith and grapefruit mix with a touch of lime zest. Chalky, wet-pavement minerality lingers with the lime in the finish. Excellent acidity.
