Wine maker notes

The Grassa approach has been considered revolutionary in this region. Their family has invested in state-of-the-art technology while maintaining a traditional sense of winemaking over five generations. Lalande’s nearly forty acres of Sauvignon Blanc vines were planted in 1984. The vineyards are meticulously maintained, and yields are below 45 hecto/hectare. The fruit is hand-harvested and whole-cluster pressed. Grassa uses skin-contact to extract perfume and exuberant flavors of tropical fruit. It is vinified in stainless steel. This wine has attracted an incredible following as it is simply a delicious example of Sauvignon Blanc.
