Description
Defying traditional expectations for New York whites, this Sauvignon Blanc captures a vibrant tropical energy usually found in New Zealand. It thrives on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake, where the deep waters create a thermal blanket that protects these delicate vines from the winter cold. By using stainless steel fermentation, the winemaker preserves the pure, punchy aromatics of grapefruit and passion fruit, resulting in a wine that is incredibly refreshing and bright. It is a fantastic find for anyone who loves a zesty, crisp white that feels like sunshine in a glass.
