ABOUT THE VINEYARD
The Lyon Vineyard team believes that in order to become successful grape growers, we must first create a healthy native ecosystem for our vineyards. Lyon Vineyard is the largest biodynamically farmed contiguous vineyard in Alexander Valley. The vineyard incorporates cover crops, bee gardens, husbandry, and limited water usage. The old vine Sauvignon Blanc was planted in 1975 on clay loam soil. These old vines have power!

WINEMAKING
This wonderfully bright Sauvignon Blanc comes from Lyon Vineyard in Alexander Valley. The vines are biodynamically farmed and we love our partnership with such environmentally-conscious growers. The grapes were picked on two successive days in late August. The grapes benefitted greatly from a long, cool growing season, which allowed longer hangtime and further flavor development on the vine. We whole-cluster pressed the grapes and fermented half of the juice cold in a stainless steel tank, stopping malolactic as it went dry. The other half bubbled its way through fermentation in neutral French oak barrels at ambient cellar temperature and was allowed to go fully though malolactic. The two halves were blended together and bottled in February 2024. Enjoy!

Pairs well with white fish, oysters, & grilled chicken.
