2022 Keever - Sauvignon Blanc
Estimated value
Buying options
Tasting notes
Barrel-fermented in a combination of French oak and stainless-steel barrels. Left sur lie with weekly bâtonnage for four months. 378 cases made. Smells of lemon pith, grapefruit and a hint of vanilla. Brisk flavours of lemon peel and pith mix with green apple and a touch of grapefruit as bright, almost severe acidity lingers through a long finish. (AY)

Made using purchased fruit from Howell Mountain and Oakville, Keever's 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley exhibits slightly grassy, herbal aromas and subtle hints of pencil shavings and vanilla, but there are also fresh, citrusy notes. Barrel fermented with no malolactic fermentation, it's medium-bodied and plump in the mouth, then tightens up on the crisp finish.
