Exposition East Sauvignon Blanc 2023
$34.00 / 750 ml
This cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc from the Geib Vineyard is not only temperature-regulated due to Sonoma Valley's close proximity to the Pacific Ocean, but is also situated in an easterly exposure…meaning the vines are planted on an eastern-facing hillside. This combination allows the vines to enjoy the gentle morning sun, while often shielded by a layer of the valley's famous morning fog. This results in a wine with subtle fruit flavors with tremendous acidity, vibrancy, and lift. On the nose, you'll find fresh cut grass, pink grapefruit, a hint of lemon and a touch of melon. The palate is clean and electric, with mouth-watering acidity that keeps you coming back sip after sip. finishing fresh with a squeeze of lemon, the Exposition East is like a liquid palate cleanser.

Winemaker Notes
Turks Head Wines crafts its Exposition East Sauvignon Blanc with a distinctive blend of stainless steel and used oak aging, a winemaking choice that shapes its unique character. The process begins with fermentation in a combination of vessels, with 13% of the wine being aged in stainless steel. This portion is key to preserving the grape's vibrant, fresh, and acidic qualities, locking in its primary fruit flavors and crispness. The remaining 87% of the wine is aged in used oak barrels. The deliberate use of used oak, rather than new, allows for a more subtle influence, adding texture and complexity without overpowering the wine with aggressive woody notes. This approach results in a balanced wine that maintains its bright fruit profile while gaining a soft, layered mouthfeel and a nuanced finish.
