600 cases produced

The introduction of the Groth Estate White, a blend of Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, was the realization of years of work and experimentation both in our winery and in our Estate vineyard in Oakville. As Groth’s first white wine to carry the Oakville appellation, the Estate White is sourced exclusively from our family’s Oakville Estate, in blocks once reserved for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. This vineyard, which we have farmed for 40 years, is our greatest resource, situated in the sweet spot of an AVA long recognized for producing some of Napa Valley’s finest Bordeaux-style wines, both red and white.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

The 2021 Estate White is a bright pale straw with a touch of celadon green. Aromas of fresh pineapple, mandarin orange and lime zest are very concentrated in this wine. Tasting this wine initially shows great viscosity and acid balance. Dominant flavors are key lime, apricot and then just a touch of tropical guava. It finishes clean and has a nice round, fresh mouthfeel.

Accolades

"Distinctive, aromatic and wonderfully elegant, this white shows details of beeswax, litsea oil and a whiff of smoked sea salt, which adds complexity to the core of tangerine, peach and lemon curd. Long, long finish."

Vineyard

In 1994, the Groth family replanted the Eastern side of their Oakville Vineyard from Cabernet Sauvignon to Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, recognizing the potential of the clay soils there to produce white wines of great texture, depth and complexity. This bottling marks the first Groth white wine grown exclusively on the family’s Oakville Estate. The vineyard is sustainably farmed and has been Fish Friendly Farming certified since 2014.

Pairing

This versatile wine can pair well with a range of foods from a fresh fish ceviche to a grilled peach salad to citrus marinated chicken kebab. In cooler seasons, it is also a delicious match for potato and leek soup: A Groth family favorite is the Potage Parmentier recipe from Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
