What Rebels Say About Us
Sauvignon Blanc is a versatile white grape variety known for its crisp acidity and distinctive flavor profiles. Originating from the Bordeaux region of France, it has gained popularity worldwide, with regions such as New Zealand and California producing notable examples. Sauvignon Blanc can exhibit a range of styles, from the grassy, herbaceous notes of New Zealand to the tropical, fruit-forward expressions found in warmer climates.
The Rogue Valley AVA in Southern Oregon provides an ideal environment for growing Sauvignon Blanc. The region's warm days and cool nights allow the grapes to develop a balanced acidity while achieving full ripeness. Padigan Vineyard, situated in the heart of Medford, benefits from these conditions, producing fruit that contributes to the tropical character of our 2021 Sauvignon Blanc.
Our 2021 Sauvignon Blanc is characterized by its tropical flavor profile, offering notes of pineapple, passion fruit, and citrus, with a hint of melon. This vintage is deliberately crafted to highlight these vibrant, fruity characteristics, providing a refreshing and lively wine experience. Its well-balanced acidity and clean finish make it a perfect choice for warm weather and a variety of dishes.
Our winemaking process begins with the meticulous selection of grapes, harvested at the peak of ripeness to maximize their tropical flavors. Each step, from fermentation to bottling, is carefully monitored to preserve the wine's vibrant character and ensure the highest quality. The result is a Sauvignon Blanc that is both refreshing and complex, offering a delightful tasting experience.
