Baltasis sausas
Vynas yra dviejų Sauvignon Blanc klonų mišinys: Sauvignon Musque su šiek tiek egzotiškais skoniais ir Sauvignon Blanc su liesa, smailia struktūra, sukuria didelį malonumą teikiantį vyną, bylojantį apie ilgas šiltas vasaras ir sausą akmenuotą dirvožemį. 2021 m. derliaus vynas kvepiantis, egzotiškas: lengvai atsiveria baltų gėlių ir cukruotų nektarinų kvapais įsukdamas į neįtikėtinai subtilias raudonojo greipfruto, apelsinų žiedų, varškės su citrinomis, baltojo muskuso ir austrės lukšto natas. Krikštolinio minerališkumo, ilgo poskonio vynas. Vynas laikytas su mielių nuosėdomis 12 mėnesių: nerūdijančiame pliene (21%), betoniniuose kiaušiniuose (22%), naudoto (30%) ir naujo ąžuolo (27%) statinėse.
Patiekti 10-12 °C temperatūros prie kepto omaro, plekšnės grietinėlės padaže, jūros gėrybių, šviežio/ brandinto ožkos pieno sūrio (Crotin).
The 2021 Sauvignon Blanc, which includes a lot of Musqu clone, is a perfumed, exotic, incredibly floral example of the variety that just about jumps out of the glass. With bright acidity, medium body, and beautiful overall balance, it can be enjoyed today but will be even better with 2-3 years of bottle age and, I suspect, will evolve for over a decade if you're so inclined.
This is a beautiful wine showing a complex range of aromas and flavours including notes of grapefruit, hints of melon and tropical fruits, fresh hay, and a mineral element that brings focus and depth to the wine as a whole. There is a pleasing mouthfeel that balances fresh, juicy acidity, with just enough tension, and textural fleshiness to keep the focus on elegance with pleasure. Fresh, refined and lengthy. It wants more time in bottle but already offers a sense of completeness that speaks well of its future. The Sauvignon Blanc from this site consistently ages a long time, so anyone who enjoys aged white wine should feel free to keep this bottle in cellar to enjoy for years to come.
Known previously as the Araujo Estate, Eisele Vineyard is now owned by François Pinault of Château Latour in Bordeaux.
First planted to vines in the 1880s, Eisele Vineyard sits in the northeast Napa Valley, just east of Calistoga at the base of the Palisades Mountain range. Farmed organically since 1998 and biodynamically since 2000, the site has been principally dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon for the last fifty years. Beginning with the inaugural release bearing the Eisele name in 1971, this iconic vineyard has received consistent recognition for possessing one of the great terroirs of Napa Valley. The wines invariably express the exceptional depth, elegance and longevity which are hallmarks of the Eisele Vineyard.
Eisele's vision is nothing less than to re-embrace the long history of Vineyard while realizing the full potential of this remarkable estate. Preserving and expanding upon the vineyard’s distinguished legacy in Napa Valley — and among the great winegrowing estates of the world — is both an honor and our aspiration. Through intellectual rigor, humility, and with the utmost respect for the land, our aim is to make wines that speak of the Eisele Vineyard in the most authentic way possible.
