The 'Two Vines' designation from Columbia Crest pays tribute to a classic vineyard trellising method designed to maximize canopy exposure to the generous Washington State sun. Sourced from the sandy loam soils of the Columbia Valley, this Sauvignon Blanc thrives under the region's dramatic diurnal temperature swings—where hot, sun-drenched days develop lush fruit flavors, and cool desert nights preserve the grape's natural, vibrant acidity. To maintain its crisp, fruit-forward profile, the wine is fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, completely avoiding oak contact. This process highlights the bright, clean, and energetic character that has made Washington State an exciting frontier for refreshing white wines.
