This is Stephen’s initial release of Sauvignon Blanc from Trestle Vineyard, located on the Cal Poly University campus and expertly managed by Erin Ameral of Pacific Coast Farming. This cool-climate site sits just six miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, with the coastal town of Morro Bay as its nearest neighbor. The vineyard’s proximity to the coast provides ideal growing conditions for expressive, aromatic white wines. 

The 2023–2024 season brought our second straight winter of abundant rainfall. A cool spring delayed warmth until June, when highs creeped into the 80s. Summer remained moderate, with most days in the low-80s and only a few warmer spells in late August and early September. Thanks to our coastal influence, nighttime temperatures stayed cool—consistently dipping into the 50s—preserving natural acidity and freshness. Yields in 2024 were down about 25%, producing smaller volumes with excellent fruit concentration.

The grapes were hand-harvested during a single night in mid-September. Back in the cellar, the 100% of the grapes were whole cluster pressed, with the juice chilled & settled overnight. Indigenous yeast fermentation in 75% neutral French Oak & 25% stainless steel. The wine is aged sur lies for three months in the same vessels and lightly filtered before bottling. SIP-Certified sustainable and vegan friendly. 

This is superb Sauvignon Blanc, with aromas of lemon zest, kiwi fruit, and grapefruit. Bright and zippy on the palate, it delivers a lively citrus core and bright acidity. A fresh, aromatic, and vivacious. Only 96 cases produced!

Alc. 13.3% Vol. / 3.44 pH / 5.85 g/L Total Acidity
