2025 Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc North Coast
Fermented in a mix of French oak, clay amphorae, and concrete. This is a textured, energetic, and cellar-worthy white that sets the benchmark for California Sauvignon Blanc. The cooler 2025 vintage gives a highly expressive bouquet with floral notes of apple blossom and citrus. On the palate it is balanced and bright with juicy white peach, ripe pear, and orange zest. Another sensational Sauvignon Blanc from Spottswoode.
Tasting Panel
With the addition of Sauvignon Musqué and Semillon clones, and a labor-intensive fermentation in small stainless steel, French oak, amphora, and ceramic cuves, this is Spottswoode’s first bottling of Sauvignon Blanc sourced from all organic vineyards. Lemon-vanilla cream, pineapple, and honeysuckle are cherished flavors that follow a perfume of lime blossom. It finishes with a hint of thyme and salinity sparked grapefruit zest.
