2023 Estate Sauvignon Blanc, Oakville

Estate Grown

Wine Club Exclusive

1,074 cases produced

As Groth’s first white wine to carry the Oakville appellation, the Estate Sauvignon Blanc is sourced exclusively from our family’s Oakville Estate, in blocks once reserved for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. This vineyard, which we have farmed for over 40 years, is our greatest resource, an AVA long recognized for producing some of Napa Valley’s finest Bordeaux-style wines, both red and white.

Tasting Notes

The nose on the 2023 Estate Sauvignon Blanc bursts with fresh peach, tangerine, and lemon curd, complemented by delicate white tea and hints of Japanese yuzu and lime. The crisp, clean mouthfeel features preserved lemon, ripe nectarine, marzipan, wet stone, and a sprinkling of white pepper. Its long finish is balanced and bright, begging the pallet to return for more.

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

The freshness and well-integrated acidity of this wine pairs beautifully with a pan-roasted Petrale Sole with lemon–caper butter sauce, a crisp butter lettuce salad with goat cheese and citrus vinaigrette, as well as many Asian-inspired dishes like sushi or Thai green curry.
