On September 5, 2008 we received these grapes at our facility and proceeded to pitch fork and shovel for what seemed like days. The aromas and flavors of the grapes had tons of grapefruit and passion fruit with a touch of green tomato bush. It was very similar to Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand, so needless to say we are ecstatic. We did a 36 hour cold settling and than inoculated the juice. This 800 gallons of Sauvignon Blanc been fermenting for 12 days and I am definitely getting citrus and tropical flavors with a touch of minerality.
