Producer Information: DAOU Vineyards & Winery
DAOU Vineyards & Winery is based in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles, California, an area celebrated for its unique terroir and elevation. Founded by brothers Georges and Daniel Daou, the winery began as a vision to craft world-class Bordeaux-style wines on California’s Central Coast. The Daou family invested in advanced viticultural techniques and sustainable farming practices, focusing on maximizing grape quality while preserving the land’s natural character. Their approach combines old-world winemaking traditions with modern technology to produce expressive wines that reflect both their heritage and the distinct attributes of their estate vineyards.
Beyond their flagship Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends, DAOU Vineyards & Winery offers a diverse portfolio that includes varietals such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Syrah.

In addition to still wines, DAOU has explored small-batch rosé production using Grenache grapes from select parcels. While primarily focused on wine, they have not ventured into spirits or beer production; instead, they concentrate on elevating Paso Robles’ reputation through innovative winemaking and curated tasting experiences at their hilltop estate.

Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant white wine grape variety known for its crisp and refreshing character, often exhibiting high acidity. This aromatic varietal can range from dry to off-dry, making it a versatile choice for various palates. The flavor profile typically includes bright citrus notes like grapefruit and lemon, complemented by green apple, pear, and tropical fruits such as passion fruit. Additionally, herbal undertones of grass and bell pepper may emerge, along with occasional mineral or flinty characteristics that enhance its complexity.
Originating from renowned wine regions such as the Loire Valley in France and Marlborough in New Zealand, Sauvignon Blanc thrives in diverse climates including California, South Africa, and Australia. Vinification techniques often involve fermentation in stainless steel to preserve freshness; some wines may undergo malolactic fermentation for added creaminess or aging on lees for depth. This light to medium-bodied wine pairs beautifully with seafood dishes like oysters or grilled fish, salads dressed with vinaigrette, goat cheese, light poultry meals, and even Asian cuisine like Thai food. For optimal enjoyment, serve chilled at temperatures between 45–50°F (7–10°C).
