Groth's White Since the Beginning

Sauvignon Blanc has been part of the Groth family of wines since the winery was founded in 1982, and over four decades the family has honed how it sources and makes it. The fruit comes from the Groth Oakville Estate and from select grower vineyards representing a range of Napa Valley microclimates: warmer areas give melon and citrus character, cooler areas give the crisp backbone that keeps the wine lively, and the rich creaminess from sur lie ageing ties the two together. The Semillon — grown on the Oakville Estate — contributes roundness and weight to the mouthfeel, and fermentation entirely in neutral oak builds texture without adding woody flavour.

Tasting Notes

Pale straw in the glass, in the winery's house style: bright melon — honeydew and cantaloupe — with green apple, pear nectar and citrus zest, a touch of beeswax from the lees ageing, and a crisp, clean finish carried by lively acidity and a soft, waxy texture.

How to Enjoy

Serve well chilled. The winery's pairing direction runs to fresh, bright dishes — ceviche, oysters and sushi, light fish and shellfish, white meats and even spicier curried dishes, where the lush fruit and crisp acidity hold their own.
