Tasting Notes
Fragrant aromas of lemon peel, lemongrass, chamomile and golden apple. A silky richness on the palate is complemented by bright acidity and a long, flinty finish.
Food Pairing
A delicious pairing for light & fresh cuisines. Try with grilled or sautéed vegetables, briny cheese like goat or Tilapia.
Tech Details
The main component is from Lodi, which gives an excellent mid-palate weight and texture to the wine since it is not aged in oak. The portion from Paso Robles, harvested from the cooler western edge, lends beautiful aromatics. The small-but-mighty addition from Clarksburg adds minerality and acidity that gives Heron Sauvignon Blanc its beautiful length and vibrancy. Picked cool at night, pressed, cold-settled, racked, yeast inoculated and fermented at 58 degrees. Aged in stainless steel tanks under the lees for 5 months.
