Return to Wine Shop 2010 'Renegade' Sauvignon Blanc
The grapes for this wine were selected from our best vines at La Ribera Vineyards. Within hours of harvest the grapes were crushed, pressed and racked to tank. After two weeks, once a viable spontaneous fermentation had begun, we racked the wine to barrel to complete the "renegade" fermentation. This process lasted five weeks. (By contrast, fermentation with commercial yeast is often complete within two weeks!) With fermentation complete, the wine was aged sur lie in mostly neutral barrels and stirred every two weeks. A pair of brand new oak barrels provides a kiss of oak flavor without overshadowing the delicate fruit flavors. The 2010 Renegade has lovely aromas of gooseberry, peach, melon, with a touch of vanilla and fresh cut grass. The texture of this wine is supple and crisp with flavors that are reminiscent of tropical fruit, peach, butterscotch, again with just a hint of vanilla and grassiness. This wine will pair well with pasta dishes that have Spring vegetables and a creamy or buttery sauce; also it would pair lovely with grilled salmon.
