✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1876 by brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, Beringer Vineyards holds the distinction of being California's oldest continuously operating winery, situated in the heart of St. Helena in Napa Valley. Pioneers of early Napa winemaking, the Beringer brothers engineered hand-dug limestone caves and gravity-fed cellars to craft refined, ageworthy wines. Today, owned by Treasury Wine Estates, the historic estate maintains an uncompromising dedication to site-specific viticulture across prime Napa Valley and Knights Valley terroirs. Beringer is internationally celebrated for its flagship Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, alongside complex single-vineyard expressions and botrytized dessert wines like Nightingale.
