2021 Olema Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc bottle

Sauvignon Blanc

A wine that encompasses freshness from start to finish, the 2021 Olema Sauvignon Blanc displays aromas of gooseberry and kumquat followed by notes of crab apple and jasmine on the palate. Citrus and lemon curd flavors create a mouth- tingling acidity that carries through the long, zippy finish.

Vintage Notes

The 2021 vintage in France’s northwestern wine country was unlike any other. Growers battled frost in April, followed by a rainy spring and a hot, dry summer. Despite these challenges, the vines persevered and produced healthy fruit showing lovely acidity. Resulting wines have great depth of flavor and concentration on the palate. We are extremely excited about the quality of the 2021 vintage and cannot wait to share it.
