A blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Sémillon, this wine was barrel-fermented and aged in mostly neutral French oak, with about 10% new oak. It underwent no malolactic fermentation, preserving its brightness and lift. The result is a lavishly aromatic white—one that immediately commands attention. Lifted notes of citrus and orchard fruit are layered with subtle hints of vanilla and cedarwood, creating an enticing and sumptuous bouquet. On the palate, the wine becomes leaner and more focused, revealing flavors of yellow apple drizzled with lemon juice, crushed almonds, white flowers, and apple skin. Quite an aromatic and focused white. Founder and winemaker David Jeffrey established Calluna Vineyards in 2005, planting 12 acres of estate vineyards in Sonoma County’s Chalk Hill AVA, followed by an additional 5 acres in 2014. After earning his degree in viticulture and enology at Fresno State, Jeffrey apprenticed under Alain Raynaud at Château Quinault in Saint-Émilion.
