Hestan Sauvignon Blanc 2024
(Napa Valley, California) - [JS 92]

Growing Season 2024
Described as dynamic and rich in flavor, the 2024 vintage captures the unique character of Napa Valley, blending boldness with elegance.
It was a textbook year for winemaking, yet it was also unusual for the numerous days of heat during the growing season. Key to the success of the vintage was heavy winter rain that set the vines up for success.
The winter rains saturated the soil and laid a foundation for healthy vegetative growth. The resulting natural shade canopy protected the crop through the expansive summertime heat from June through harvest.

Vinification
The fruit is picked at night and pressed in whole clusters while still cold. Fermented in stainless steel, it ages for six months in 50% stainless and 50% neutral French oak barrels.

Tasting Notes
This stunning Sauvignon Blanc is impressive for the purity of its citrus zest notes, lemon verbena and orange blossoms with hints of pineapple, Honeycrisp apple and litsea oil. Seamless and harmonious all the way through the long, impressive finish.
