We’re so excited to offer Hillside’s first Sauvignon Blanc. The fruit was sourced from a mature vineyard planted just north of Munson Mountain. Classic aromas of fresh grass and golden plum are enhanced by partial fermentation in neutral oak.

Winemaker Notes
Hand harvested in early October at 22˚ Bx. Handled gently to preserve its delicate aromatics, the fruit was de-stemmed and given 3 hours skin contact before draining/pressing off skins and cold settling. After initiation of fermentation in stainless steel, 30% of the juice was transferred to older French oak barrels to complete fermentation. The wine was left sur lies for a total of 4 ½ months with frequent stirring, bringing a touch of creaminess to the texture.
The cork closures used for this wine have been individually analyzed by the supplier and guaranteed taint-free.
