Tortoise Creek Lodi Sauvignon Blanc 2021 750ml

Soft aromas of pear and light peach are cut by red grapefruit on the nose of this wine. The palate is ripe with red apple, nectarine and green melon flavors, cut by a grassy element.

The Tortoise Creek Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from certified sustainable vineyards in the sandy loams and alluvial clay soils of Lodi. The vineyards take advantage of the cool climate gap between the northern and southern coastal ranges surrounding the San Francisco Bay. As the days temperature rises, cool breezes drift in from the Delta, keeping the nights cool which is ideal for developing complex long finishing wines. The climate in Lodi is almost identical to Napa with the same mean annual temperatures.
