Intensely fresh aromatics of grapefruit, orange blossom, ripe guava and pear are followed by crisp, citrus and tropical fruit-driven flavors. Well balanced and lively acidity lead into a long, crisp finish.

The fruit for Rte Blanc comes from several vineyards in Napa Valley’s Yountville appellation and is farmed 100% organically. Yountville’s cool marine influence from the San Pablo Bay contributes to a moderate climate with cool summer mornings and late afternoon breezes. The result is crisp, fruit-driven Sauvignon Blanc with good, balanced acidity.
Rte Blanc is stainless steel fermented and does not go through malolactic fermentation, thus enhancing the purity of the fruit.
