From the Winery
“Groth produces sought-after Cabernet Sauvignons, but the quality of the winery’s Sauvignon Blancs is just as noteworthy. This bright, juicy white with notes of citrus is beautifully balanced.”
— Lettie Teague, Wall Street Journal
Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc has been part of the Groth family of wines since our winery was founded in 1982. Over the past four decades, we’ve sourced this variety from some of the best sites in Napa Valley, including our own Oakville Estate, and honed our skills in the vineyard and cellar to produce Sauvignon Blanc that is balanced, refreshing and aromatic — just the way we love it.
Tasting Notes
Light lemon-yellow in color with fresh aromas of nectarine, pineapple, lemon and wet stone. Tart acidity enhances flavors of mixed citrus, guava and honeydew melon. The juicy finish leaves you craving another sip.
Vineyard
This wine is produced from grapes grown on our Oakville Estate, as well as from select grower vineyards representing a range of microclimates in Napa Valley. The warmer areas give us Sauvignon Blanc with melon and citrus characteristics in both aroma and flavor. The cooler areas provide fruit with a solid, crisp backbone that gives the wine an exciting liveliness and balances the rich creaminess from sur lie aging. The Semillon is grown on our Oakville Estate, and it contributes roundness and weight to the mouthfeel.
Pairing
The crisp, clean acidity and lush fruit of this Sauvignon Blanc will nicely complement most lighter preparations of seafood and vegetables. It also excels with many Asian cuisines and, of course, sipped on its own right out of a chilled bottle.
