Matanzas Creek Description

Winemaker Notes:
This white wine has aromas of fresh pineapple, white lily, jasmine, and passion fruit. It has flavors of honeydew melon, peach, and citrus blossom. It is light on the palate but flavor dense.

97% Sauvignon Blanc and 3% Semillon.

In the past decade, Matanzas Creek has embarked on a quest to produce a Sauvignon Blanc that highlights the
best of Sonoma County. Matanzas Creek Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc is derived from nine different
vineyards whose fruit has been individually harvested, fermented, and evaluated to create a shining example of
what Sonoma County has to offer. Each vineyard expresses distinctive aromatics and textures in its fruit, from
white pepper to pineapple, extending to the most perceptible aromas of pomelo, fresh passion fruit, lime, and
lemon. Using a multitude of yeast strains, we are able to highlight the unique characteristics and plethora of
flavors that each vineyard fosters in the final wine.

Since 1977, Matanzas Creek Winery has focused on creating site-expressive wines from Sonoma County. Across the years, our approach has never wavered: cultivate a range of grape clones, explore various vineyard techniques, and use a variety of fermentation vessels to carefully craft balanced wines. Today, all Matanzas Creek Winery estate vineyards are sustainably farmed and are certified under the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance.
