Tasting notes:
In this 2023 Sauvignon Blanc, the artistry of winemaking unfolds in every sip. Its aromatic profile opens with the freshness of lemon grass, pear, and apple, all accented by the tropical allure of kiwi and a whisper of tarragon. On the palate, a symphony of flavors delights the senses—zesty lemon bar, succulent Asian pear, and a hint of lime zest, harmonizing with the vibrant essence of green apple. Its structure, characterized by juicy acidity and a light-plus body, is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. The wine’s journey, soaked with the skins for 12 hours before fermentation in concrete eggs and aged briefly on fine lees, results in a remarkable expression of purity and finesse. This Sauvignon Blanc exemplifies the epitome of balance, inviting enthusiasts to revel in its exquisite complexity with each sip. Serve Chilled.

Fermentation and processing:
Sauvignon Blanc was harvested, cluster sorted and destemmed, then transferred to a stainless steel tank for an overnight cold soak. The following day, the grapes were pressed in a vertical, hydraulic basket press. The juice was fermented in a concrete egg where no malolactic conversion was permitted. Upon alcoholic fermentation completion, the wine was racked and returned to a concrete egg. Cast stone preserves the unique terroir, aromas, and flavor profile we want to showcase in our Sauvignon Blanc.

Food pairing:
Crudo with aguachile, Deviled crab cake or lion’s mane crabcake with a cajun remoulade sauce, lemon and herb spatchcock chicken.
