Intense aromas of grapefruit, kiwi and freshly cut grass mix with concentrated tropical aromas and a bright minerality. A blend of fruit raised in the prime growing regions of Mendocino and Lake counties, this wine is the product of local organic viticulture in full flower.

Review

“Lemon‐lime flavors are ripe and tasty, showing good intensity and focus, with herb, melon and spice highlights. There’s a refreshing acidity running through this. Drink now.” Wine Spectator Magazine 'Very Good, a wine with special qualities' November 30, 2008

Technical notes

Bonterra has been farming grapes organically since 1987 because it is their belief that organic grapes simply make better wine… more natural ripeness and freshness are able to shine through with organic treatment, especially in this delicious Sauvignon Blanc. Made of a blend of Lake County and Mendocino fruit, look for wonderful aromas of grapefruit, kiwi, freshly cut and tropical fruits leading to more of the same on the palate with ripe melon fruit on the mid-palate and a long, crisp, juicy finish.

Food pairing
