Introduction
The 2022 St. Supéry Estate Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley delivers a crisp and vibrant expression of Sauvignon Blanc, highlighting the varietal’s characteristic brightness and layered citrus profile. Known for its dedication to sustainable farming, St. Supéry consistently crafts wines that reflect the unique terroir of Napa Valley.

Terrior
Napa Valley’s Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights, allows Sauvignon Blanc to ripen slowly, preserving its natural acidity. The estate vineyards benefit from well-draining gravel and clay soils, which enhance minerality and allow the grapes to fully express the freshness and structure that Napa Valley whites are known for.

Appearance
Pale straw with a hint of green, the wine is bright and clear, suggesting freshness and vibrancy.

Nose
Intensely aromatic, the nose opens with notes of lime zest, grapefruit, and tropical fruits like guava and passion fruit, accompanied by a delicate herbal undertone of lemongrass and fresh-cut grass.

Palate
The palate is lively and refreshing, with flavors of citrus, green apple, and a hint of pineapple. Medium-bodied with crisp acidity, the wine also shows a touch of minerality and subtle grassy notes that add complexity. The vibrant acidity balances well with the wine’s fruity character, giving it a rounded and mouthwatering texture.

Finish
The finish is long and clean, leaving refreshing citrus and green apple notes, with a slight minerality that lingers pleasantly.

Overall Impression
The 2022 St. Supéry Estate Sauvignon Blanc is a quintessential Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc with a perfect balance of fruit, acidity, and minerality. Its refreshing and complex profile makes it an ideal pairing with fresh seafood, goat cheese, or light vegetarian dishes, as well as an excellent aperitif.
