The name was chosen as a fitting moniker to express the vibrant fruit flavours and minerality of the Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Sauvignon Blanc, which is crafted from fruit grown in the alluvial soils of the estate vineyards as well as other exceptional Napa Valley sites. Fruit for this wine was sourced from a number of vineyards all located in the Oak Knoll District. Oak Knoll fruit brings spicy peach, guava and grapefruit notes to the mix. At the winery the juice was fermented at cool temperatures in a mix of stainless steel (33%) and neutral French oak barrels (67%). The wine was then aged on light lees for just over six months and was stirred every two weeks, providing some roundness to the wine’s texture. The 2022 AVETA Sauvignon Blanc offers fragrant aromas of grapefruit, lemongrass, citrus, lychee and orange blossom. The wine is bright and lively on the palate with a thirst-quenching acidity and pure flavors of mandarin orange and honeysuckle that lead to a lasting aftertaste.
