An Estate Sauvignon Blanc From Jefferson's Wine Country
Trump Winery's 1,300-acre estate lies in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a few miles from Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, on the former Kluge Estate. Winemaker Jonathan Wheeler's Sauvignon Blanc is picked by hand, and the whole berries rest overnight in tank so the skins give up their aromatics before a long, cold stainless steel fermentation; three months of lees stirring then rounds the texture without dulling the freshness.

Tasting Notes
Vibrant aromas of grapefruit, melon, passion fruit and boxwood; an exciting palate with refreshing, crisp and clean acidity — fresh on the attack, rounder through the middle from the lees work.
How to Enjoy
Well chilled, with seafood and salads — the winery's own pairing — or with goat cheese, where the bright acidity cuts the richness cleanly.
