Our Rabbit Ridge Paso Robles Sauvignon Blanc is a refreshing, crisp, fruity white wine with subtle grapefruit and herb undertones. The grapes are primarily from two French Entav clones of
Sauvignon Blanc and the Sauvignon Musque clone. The fruit is crushed to the press and
then cold settled at 45° for 36 hours. The wine is then cold fermented at 51° to retain all
the crisp fruitiness. During fermentation the wine undergoes 100% malolactic fermentation
which is done early enough in the process to prevent any buttery characters and which allows the wine
to be bottled with only a very light filtration. Our Sauvignon Blanc is bone dry with no
residual sugar and a very natural crisp acid (no acid was added to the wine). This wine is a
good balance between the crisp grassy New Zealand style and the heavy California style Sauvignon
Blancs. Sauvignon Blanc is perfect with light fish and vegetable dishes or very chilled by the
glass. 1,174 cases produced.
