Le P'tit Paysan Sauvignon Blanc Zabala Vineyard Arroyo Seco 2023 750ml

Certified Organic. 100% Sauvignon Blanc (Musque clone). Zabala Vineyards is located on a large holding on the Arroyo Seco floodplains that was part of land granted to the Zabala family before California’s statehood. It was first planted in the 1970s and has grown to encompass over 1000 acres. Zabala Vineyards is among the rockiest & windiest vineyards in California, full of what is locally known as ‘Greenfield Potatoes’, which are the rather inedible round river stones that dominate the soil and have been collected into piles and walls at every property in the basin. This vineyard is located directly in the path of the daily Salinas Valley winds, which control sugar development and retain natural acidity. Picked around 22.5 brix with bright acidity. Spontaneously fermented and aged in 2/3 stainless steel & 1/3 neutral barrel on the lees. Ageing for 7 months. Arrested malic.
