2016 Michael Florentino Sauvignon Blanc
We created differing levels of residual sugars in this wine over the years. We have now created a more traditional dry wine that has .01% RS which is as dry as you get. The Semillon adds the up front fruit component to this wine, which makes it a brighter wine than you would normally this with a dry wine.
Tasting notes
This is a traditional Bordeaux blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. It has that grassy, lemon grass flavors from the Sav Blanc. The Semillon adds some pear on the nose and palate with a little gooseberry. We have some French oak in the wine during fermentation to add some depth and mouth feel that complements the minerality of this wine.
