Beringer Vineyards, established in 1876 by brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, stands as one of Napa Valley's most historic and enduring winemaking icons. The Founders' Estate series pays tribute to this pioneering legacy, crafting wines that are approachable yet deeply reflective of California's diverse terroir. This Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from premium vineyards across California's top growing regions, where warm days and cool nights foster optimal ripening. To preserve the grape's natural vibrancy and bright fruit profile, the wine is fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks, avoiding oak contact. The result is a classic California style defined by lively acidity, crisp citrus notes of grapefruit and lime, and subtle tropical undertones.
