2024 Olema Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc

A wine of precision and energy, the 2024 Olema Sauvignon Blanc opens with aromas of spearmint, wintergreen, lemon zest, and delicate white florals like jasmine and gooseberry. On the palate, it delivers a crisp, linear expression with notes of white peach skin, bright citrus, and a touch of grapefruit, all underpinned by a vibrant acidity and wet stone minerality. The finish is refreshing and clean, leaving you eager for another sip.

Vintage Notes

The 2024 vintage in France’s Loire Valley was marked by favorable conditions, with a mild winter transitioned into a warm and relatively dry spring, encouraging early bud break. Summer brought consistent warmth without excessive heat spikes, allowing grapes to ripen gradually while preserving their signature acidity. 2024 resulted in vibrant and expressive Sauvignon Blanc, with intense aromatics, fresh citrus and herbal notes, and bright acidity.

Floral and fruity, light-bodied and fresh with acidity. Citrus flowers, lemons, limes and a touch of grassy complexity. Great with lunch, oysters and pre-dinner.
