Product information
Our 2022 Estate Sauvignon Blanc splendidly integrates floral, spice and fruit notes into a singularly expressive wine. Vibrant with notes of lemongrass, verbena, star jasmine and grapefruit, this lively wine is aromatically inviting. On the palate the wine bursts with fresh green apple, kiwi and tangerine tones that give way to lush passionfruit and melon notes. The exuberant flavors shine through the long, round finish of this versatile wine.
 
About the producer
Cuvaison has been profoundly influenced by our owners, the Schmidheiny family of Switzerland—fourth-generation vintners who purchased our winery in 1979. After acquiring Cuvaison, the Schmidheiny family immediately cemented our focus on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir by acquiring 400 acres of highly prized land in the Los Carneros region of Napa Valley. In 1991, they began an ambitious program of replanting, while adopting an intimate block-by-block approach to farming to achieve the highest expression of our vineyard and the grape varieties we work with. Since 2002, gifted winemaker Steve Rogstad has overseen the winemaking at Cuvaison. In addition to being recognized for making many of the finest wines in our storied history, Steve oversaw the construction of our modern smart-shed winery, designed to facilitate the small-lot approach that defines our acclaimed estate-grown wines. “Great wines don’t come from a single vintage—they are the culmination of years of knowledge and experience” says Steve. “Since 2002, I have had the incredible fortune to work with a grand cru-caliber vineyard to create wines that honor Cuvaison’s historic roots, while also helping to lay the foundation for the next fifty years.” In 2012, Cuvaison was honored by Wine & Spirits as one of the “Top 100 Wineries on the World.”
