2024 Lady of the Sunshine 'Chevey' Sauvignon Blanc - Chardonnay, Oliver's Vineyard Edna Valley California, USA
$39.99
This wine is inspired by the traditional white blend of the Cheverny region within the Loire Valley in France where Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay are classically blended together. In 2024, we were lucky to work with a wildly beautiful organic vineyard in the southern part of the SLO Coast AVA, called Rancho Arroyo Grande. This vineyard site has sandy rolling hills that nestle against the Los Padre National Forest. This vintage, the secret ingredient is a few barrels of Bassi Chardonnay and the rest of the blend comes from Rancho Arroyo Grande. The grape varieties were harvested and fermented separately, then foot tread to soak on skins before being whole bunch pressed the next morning. The juice was fermented in old french oak barrels with native yeast and bacteria, then aged on lees for 8 months. The wine was racked for the first time to blend + bottle, without fining or filtration, with minimal sulfur used. 456 cases produced.
