✨ Technical Specifications
Bedrock Wine Co.’s Sauvignon Blanc is a testament to Morgan Twain-Peterson MW’s dedication to preserving California's historic vineyards, even when it comes to white varieties. Sourced primarily from older, meticulously farmed sites in Sonoma County—most notably the historic Uboldi Vineyard planted in the 1960s—this wine departs from the simple, highly tropical style often associated with modern California Sauvignon Blanc. Instead, Bedrock crafts a wine of serious texture, complexity, and mineral tension. The grapes are typically whole-cluster pressed and fermented using native yeasts in a thoughtful combination of neutral French oak barrels, concrete eggs, and stainless steel. This diverse vessel program allows the wine to develop a rich, creamy mid-palate and complex lees character without being masked by new oak aromas. It is a brilliant homage to the classic, age-worthy white wines of Bordeaux, offering a beautifully structured expression of Sonoma terroir.
