In just a few short years, Rombauer has become one of our fastest selling domestic Sauvignon Blancs. Considering the popularity of their Chardonnay, it was only a matter of time for consumers to notice this new wine in their lineup. But just in case some of you have missed it in the past, the new release is finally here!
Rombauer's Carneros Chardonnay is the benchmark by which almost all other domestic Chardonnays are measured. Their rich, full-bodied, opulent elixir is often imitated but never duplicated, and has become our #1 selling domestic wine in the store. So when they decided to produce a Sauvignon Blanc, they had to make sure that it was crafted with precision, intent, and the quality that Rombauer is known for...and they have succeeded!
The fruit for this wine comes from premium growing sites in Napa and Sonoma counties that offer abundant sunshine yet moderate temperatures - ideal conditions for cultivating delicious Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes were fermented in a combination of neutral French oak barrels, concrete tanks, and stainless tanks. The combination of these three fermentation vessels increases the complexity of this wine: the concrete brings texture to the wine, the stainless steel retains aromatics and vibrancy, while the neutral French oak gives harmony and weight.
Utterly delicious and refreshing, lychee, honey dew melon, lime, and chamomile notes jump out of the glass and fill the air. The flavors continue to the palate with lemon joining the lime in an intense and juicy way. The wine is lively and fresh on the palate, with both a lightness and weight to the mouthfeel. Its brilliant acidity and mouthwateringly long finish are signatures of this wine and an absolute delight to sip.
