Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc, 2022
Cakebread Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc was the first white grape variety Cakebread planted in 1972 adjacent to the winery, and it's still thriving there today. Zesty citrus aromas and flavors and balanced acidity make this classic Sauvignon Blanc perfect for a multitude of dishes.
The Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc grapes come from top vineyards throughout Napa Valley, including, from south to north, Estate ranches in Carneros, Suscol Springs, Rutherford and Calistoga. The exceptional fruit from these sites produces a rich, complex Sauvignon Blanc that is simultaneously fresh, crisp and zesty. Grapes are harvested during the cool nighttime hours to fully capture their fresh, pure flavors and vibrant acidity. Whole-cluster-pressing of the fruit under anaerobic conditions maximizes varietal intensity while minimizing the extraction of astringent compounds from the skins. In 2021, we fermented 94% of the juice in stainless steel tanks and 4% in concrete eggs to soften the acidity. Following fermentation, the wine aged five months in neutral French oak barrels, with a small amount (4%) aging in concrete.
