Uby's Sauvignon Blanc vineyards are planted in a distinctive mix of alluvium and tawny sands. This mixture of well-drained soils produces a refreshing and zesty Sauvignon Blanc. Harvest took place at night to preserve the grapes’ aromas and flavors from the oxidizing effects of the hot summer sun. The juice was then macerated with the skins and fermented at a low temperature to preserve the fresh flavors.

Tasting Notes:

Powerful grapefruit and floral aromas. Grapefruit flavors continue on the palate. A racy, light-bodied wine with good fruit. Perfect with appetizers, cheese, seafood and light pasta dishes. Serve slightly chilled; ready to drink now through 2010.
