Napa Valley Estate Sauvignon Blanc

The Dollarhide Vineyard is often referred to as a “valley within a valley”, featuring elevations ranging from 600 to 1,100 feet above sea level, seven different soil series, 13 soil variations and unique microclimates. The 30+ year old vines planted into the undulating slopes at the site produce the core of St. Supéry’s profile, with a diverse ecosystem of hills and lakes sustaining the integrity of the place.

A cool morning harvest and immediate temperature controlled fermentation aim to protect the delicate aromatics of the wine. After destemming, all fermentation and aging occur in stainless steel, with several months of resting time before bottling.

After a relatively moderate early and mid-growing season, a heat wave in early September brought about a quick turn around to pick grapes at an optimum ripeness. The results have shown wines with bright, fruit driven character and vibrant flavors and textures.

Lemon, lime, yellow grapefruit, and lime zest combined with a fennel and mineral driven vibrancy. An approachable white with a fine balance of body and zip.
