✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the wind-swept slopes of the Horse Heaven Hills AVA in Washington State, the H3 Sauvignon Blanc by Columbia Crest is a vibrant tribute to this unique terroir. The H3 designation celebrates the rugged landscape of the Horse Heaven Hills, where intense sun, well-draining sandy loam soils, and constant winds from the Columbia River Gorge create ideal conditions for preserving bright acidity and concentrated fruit flavors. This wine is crafted primarily in stainless steel tanks to maintain its crisp, clean character, offering a lively bouquet of citrus, tropical fruits, and fresh-cut grass that reflects the modern, expressive winemaking style of the Pacific Northwest.
