✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the prestigious, sun-drenched slopes of the Red Mountain AVA, the JM Cellars Sauvignon Blanc from Quintessence Vineyard represents a brilliant expression of Washington State white winemaking. While Red Mountain is globally renowned for its powerful, structured red wines, this Sauvignon Blanc thrives in the AVA's unique microclimate. The vineyard's south-facing slopes capture intense daytime heat, while cool evening breezes sweeping through the Yakima Valley preserve the grapes' natural acidity. To craft a wine of exceptional depth and complexity, JM Cellars typically utilizes a combination of concrete egg fermentation and neutral French oak aging. This thoughtful technique tempers the grape's naturally racy acidity with a beautifully rounded, creamy texture, resulting in a sophisticated white wine that balances bright citrus notes with rich mineral undertones.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
JM Cellars blev grundlagt i 1998 af John og Peggy Bigelow og er et anerkendt, familiedrevet vinhus beliggende i de fredfyldte, skovklædte omgivelser ved Bramble Bump i Woodinville, Washington, suppleret af deres egne vinmarker på Margaret's Vineyard i Walla Walla Valley. Vinhuset er dedikeret til bæredygtigt håndværk i små partier og henter førsteklasses druer fra velrenommerede AVA'er i Pacific Northwest for at skabe vine med harmonisk struktur og ægte druetypicitet. JM Cellars roses især for sin alsidige og udtryksfulde portefølje, der spænder fra karakteristiske Bordeaux-blends og enkeltmarks-Cabernet Sauvignon til livfulde Rhône-druer og hvidvine i stærkt begrænsede mængder.
