A tangy and crisp white with sliced lemons, grapefruit and some stones. Aniseed, too. Medium-to full-bodied, linear and focused. Wonderful persistence. Bright and very long. 50% stainless steel and 50% neutral oak barrel during fermentation. Five months in barrel thereafter.

From consulting winemaker Heidi Barrett, this is a beautiful wine, which was given time in both stainless steel and French oak. Sublime elements of peach, lemon zest and stone highlight a voluptuously grippy and lush structure. (VB)

Notes

Named for “morning dew” in Japanese, Asatsuyu is Kenzo Estate’s estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc from its secluded property on Mt. George in southeastern Napa Valley. The project was founded by Kenzo Tsujimoto, with vineyard development by David Abreu and winemaking by Heidi Barrett during this era.
