Groth Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley - Item Code: 05186
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Discover this Groth Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley and get it delivered to your door. Groth’s Sauvignon Blanc is a rich, nuanced, and reviving wine made from grapes grown in a variety of Napa Valley microclimates. The grapes from the warmer microclimates give the wine a luscious, robust melon/citrus flavor. Fruit from colder regions gives the wine a strong, sharp foundation that counteracts the luscious creaminess of “sur lie” maturing and gives it an intriguing vibrancy. This wine is like a bottle of sunlight. Awards: 92 points from Wine Enthusiast (2018 vintage)

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).
