Mirassou California Sauvignon Blanc is bright and expressive with flavors of juicy pink grapefruit and mandarin orange that linger on the finish. Notes of melon and guava combine with a slight hint of fresh cut grass to create a crisp acidity and soft mouthfeel.

Wine maker notes

The grapes for our Sauvignon Blanc were gently whole cluster pressed in a membrane press to minimize the extraction of bitter phenolics. The juice was delivered to the fermentor via centrifuge to create a more elegant mouthfeel. The must was then fermented at temperatures ranging from 60°F to 65°F, which is warmer than usual for most Sauvignon Blanc wines, in order to bring out more of the tropical and ripe citrus notes. After fermentation, the wine was aged off of its lees and bottled with no oak contact to preserve the bright fruit flavors.

Food pairing

A versatile wine, our refreshing Sauvignon Blanc pairs well with a range of foods from spicy Thai dishes to summer salads and pasta.
