✨ wine.spec_sheet
Beringer, founded in 1876 by brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, stands as one of Napa Valley's most historic and continuously operating wineries. The Appellation Collection Sauvignon Blanc celebrates this legacy by sourcing fruit from prime California vineyards where cool maritime breezes and warm sunny days coexist. This climate allows the Sauvignon Blanc grapes to develop vibrant acidity alongside rich tropical and citrus fruit flavors. In the cellar, winemakers typically utilize cool stainless steel fermentation to preserve the grape's natural freshness and aromatic intensity, occasionally employing light lees contact to add a subtle, creamy texture to the mid-palate, resulting in a beautifully balanced and expressive white wine.
