Why Sauvignon Blanc?
At Wölffer Estate Vineyard, we believe every summer should be celebrated with vibrant, refreshing wines that capture the essence of the Hamptons. In response to the growing global demand for food-friendly, crisp wines, we've invested in 9.5 acres of the Sauvignon Blanc Musque Clone and partnered with vineyards on the North Fork of Long Island. This strategic decision highlights our confidence in the potential of Sauvignon Blanc and our commitment to meeting the evolving preferences of wine enthusiasts.
Why Long Island?
Renowned for its unique terroir, Long Island provides the ideal environment for cultivating exceptional Sauvignon Blanc. Situated in Sagaponack, our location benefits from close proximity to the ocean, ensuring a cooler climate that preserves the wine's freshness. Coupled with abundant sunlight received from our latitude of 40.9 degrees, these conditions grant us a distinct advantage in crafting world-class Sauvignon Blanc. With over 14 years of expertise in nurturing this varietal, and producing both our Estate Sauvignon Blanc and the White Horse Antonov, we possess the knowledge and skill necessary to create exquisite wines from this prized varietal.
Why THIS Sauvignon Blanc from Long Island?
The wine boasts a pale, shiny yellow hue. Its delicate aroma features notes of fine gooseberries, fresh dandelions, and lime. The mouthfeel is both elegant and vibrant, showcasing fine green apple notes and a well-balanced profile of ripe kiwi and honeydew melon, complemented by playful acidity. Layers of skin characters and lovely lees notes, supported by classic minerality, provide excellent structure to the long, lip-smacking finish.
Whether you're enjoying a sunny afternoon picnic or a beachside seafood feast, Summer in a Bottle Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is designed to elevate your summer moments. With singing notes of citrus and ripe gooseberries, this wine offers a delightful and refreshing experience. It is the perfect wine to pair with food, especially oysters!
