Back by popular demand, the 2006 Renegade Sauvignon Blanc continues in the wild tradition of the debut 2000 vintage. Once again, we did not inoculate the juice with yeast, but rather allowed the native or renegade yeasts residing in the vineyard and winery to populate the juice and start the fermentation process.

The grapes for this wine were selected from our best vines at La Ribera Vineyards. They were then crushed, pressed, and racked directly to barrel. Most barrels did not start fermentation for 2 to 3 weeks, and the fermentation process lasted nearly two months. (By contrast, a fermentation with commercial yeasts is often complete within two weeks!) After fermentation was complete, the wine was aged sur-lees with barrel stirring every 2 weeks. The best barrels were selected for this unique bottling.

Look for aromas of citrus, fig, and a touch of lemon grass. In the mouth this wine offers a soft and round profile, almost like a Chardonnay, yet the flavors are classic Sauvignon Blanc: floral, spicy, and a slightly grassy with ripe melon. The wine finishes with lingering spice notes and a kiss of oak.
