The 2022 Holloran Sauvignon Blanc Sur Les Peaux comes from our La Chenaie vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills. The block was planted in 2006. It consists of 5 different clones of Sauvignon Blanc, some from Italy, others from France.
This vineyard is farmed organic. The site is exposed to the winds from the Van Duzer corridor, a gap in the coastal range immediately to the west of the vineyard. This cooling influence helps the fruit retain bright, crisp acid, contributing to the character of this wine.
This wine shows nicely young, but will evolve substantially with bottle age softening the tannins present from fermenting on the skins, and exposing additional aromas and flavors. It will age well in a cool cellar for 8 – 12 years.
DRINKING
Recommended drinking window 2024-2034. Serve chilled but not ice cold, a touch cooler than cellar temperature to expose all the flavors & aromas.
