Florez 2023 Shangri-Li Savvy B

100% Sauvignon Blanc

Mendocino, CA

This juicy, acid-driven Sauvignon Blanc is loaded with flavors of tropical fruits, lime leaf, honeysuckle, and sea salt.

Organic + dry-farmed, destemmed, and left on the skins overnight, followed by lees-aging for six months.

50+ year old vines from a vineyard in Redwood Valley, Mendocino, tenderly farmed by the Upton family, who have maintained a CCOF organic certification for their vineyard since 1990. The majority of this cuvee was fermented in stainless steel to maintain aromatics and purity, and for the first time for this wine 35% was aged in neutral French oak barrels to explore differences in elevage. Aged for 6 months on the lees before being racked then bottled, this wine received no additions of any kind including no sulfites.
