2023 Sauvignon Blanc – Water Tower
2023 Sauvignon Blanc – Water Tower
This is the kind of wine that you could drink after mowing the lawn. It is just so refreshing, crisp and easy-drinking!" Citrus · Refreshing · Mineral. Nestled about 2 miles south of Clear Lake and about 1 mile west of Mt. Konocti, a dormant volcano that towers above the entire region, the Rooster Vineyard sits atop alluvial deposits at an altitude of 1,360 feet — perfect for growing a beautifully balanced Sauvignon Blanc with good maturation and minerality. The grapes are pressed very gently, keeping just juice from the heart of the cycle, then fermented 50 to 60 days in stainless steel tanks at very cool temperatures. Minimally aged and sent to bottle as fresh as possible. Opens with bright grassy and boxwood notes and a ripe passion fruit aroma, very crisp and bright with crunchy acidity, hints of fresh-cut bell pepper, and a long finish reminiscent of fresh squeezed lemonade. Pairs best with ceviche, tuna poke bowl, green papaya salad, or grilled pineapple.

How City Winery Makes Wine
Step 1: Grape Selection
We carefully select vineyards around the world to supply grapes for our wines. Prior to harvest, we choose our preferred varietals with terroir, weather, and farming practices in mind. The grapes are picked at their peak, and then shipped to each of our local wineries for production.
