Substance Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Tasting notes

Pretty. Inviting. Bright. Think a lovely day on the beach with warm sun and a slight breeze... sea water in the air... a summer delight. Grapefruit, orange peel, lime zest mingling with green grass, tomatillo and a piercing minerality running through your glass. So nice it puts a smile on your face.

Vintage Notes

2022 was a unique year for wine grapes in Washington State. A slow start from a late Spring eventually balanced out into an even and warm Summer and ultimately led to one of the longest Falls we have ever seen. Our vineyards, which produce great grapes year in and year out, harvested fruit that lent itself to extremely special wines this year. Wines that are firm, bright, and beautiful, with lovely aromas. We’re excited to watch them continue to develop and provide enjoyment for years to come!

Vinification
