2023 Sauvignon Blanc, Grassini 750ML
2023 was an excellent year in Happy Canyon. A big rain year was followed by a cool spring and summer without serious heat spikes. We picked in early to mid-September under ideal conditions and with fairly good yields as well. As is typical for Grassini, the wine was barrel fermented and then topped up and aged on its lees for 15 months in 100% French oak (228L, 300L), 8 percent new.
Always showing spectacularly right out of the gate, the 2023 Grassini is already singing. Aromas of kiwi fruit, honeydew, fresh coconut and marzipan turn to riveting flavors of melons, tropical fruits, lime zest and hints of brioche which are held aloft by sparkling fresh, round acidity. The wine finishes expressive and long. It would be great with shellfish, soft goat cheeses and even Thai food (not too spicy).
