Vintage
Though yearly rainfall was only slightly lower than average, the bulk of that rain came in October and December of 2021, while the spring of 2022 was uncharacteristically dry and gave way to a seasonably dry summer. This was followed by an intense heat wave during the first week of September, causing a dramatic increase in our grape’s sugar levels. A patient harvest allowed cooler temperatures and normal sugar levels to return before picking.
Winemaking
At Reynoso, all work is done by hand: from leaf-pulling and green drop, to harvesting into half-ton bins. Once the growing season is over, the fruit is gently crushed into half ton bins, where they undergo a slow, cool fermentation. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes were hand-picked at 22.8 Brix and barrel fermented with wild yeast showcasing the best of the best of the Reynoso Estate. 100% neutral French oak barrel fermentation using only native yeasts. After fermentation the wine saw 6 months in barrel before bottling. As with many of their wines, Reynoso is inspired by the great wine-growing regions of France, where minimal manipulation allowing the terroir to be most fully expressed.

Aromas of watermelon, cranberry, orange rind, and fresh spring flowers that leap from the glass. The palate offers peach, strawberry, and melon, with an intriguing note of fresh herb and pomegranate. Though packed with fruit, this Rosé finishes dry, with a nice balanced finish.
