Fruit for Charles Krug Sauvignon Blanc, principally sourced from their historic St. Helena estate, was hand-picked in the cool of night to ensure it reached the winery in pristine condition. The freshly picked grapes were cold-soaked on the skins for 6-8 hours, before going to press, a process that enhances the fruit's natural aromatics. The wine was cold fermented slowly in stainless steel tanks to further its wonderfully aromatic bouquet and delicate flavor profile. This light to medium-bodied wine displays vibrant notes of lime, guava and lemongrass on the nose. The flavors are of lime, passionfruit and lychee, with crisp acidity.
