Dry winter conditions and warmer spring temperatures on the Central Coast in 2014 ushered in an early harvest, resulting in slightly lower acidity, intensely concentrated aromatics and excellent flavors in our wine.We harvested our Sauvignon Blanc grapes when they had developed optimal balance and desirable citrus and tropical fruit flavors. After gentle pressing, a small portion of the fruit was destemmed and remained in contact with the skins for four hours. A variety of specialty yeasts were used to bring grapefruit, orange and tropical flavors to the wines forefront.To increase viscosity, complexity and length in the wine, it was aged on its lees before blending.” – Edna Valley Vineyard
