The 2020 Matthews Sauvignon Blanc was crafted using Sauvignon Blanc from select vineyards located in the Horse Heaven Hills of the Columbia Valley. Farmed using sustainable practices, the fruit was machine harvested in the early mornings around 7 am. Upon arriving at the winery, all the grapes were pressed and the juice was delivered into tank. It was then fermented and aged in 100% stainless steel tanks before being bottled and released. Only 1,976 cases were produced.

Tasting Notes

Notes of fresh citrus, tropical fruits, and honeydew melon. Swirling brings up white tea, sweet green apple, and pineapple rind. The palate has vibrant acidity, good volume, and glossy polish. Flavors of pithy stone fruit and citrus linger on the finish.

 

Food Pairing Recommendations

Fresh-caught seafood like oysters, halibut or scallops
