Hailing from the wind-swept corridors of Monterey County, Scheid Vineyards' Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant testament to the region's unique 'thermal rainbow' microclimate. Sourced from estate-grown blocks where the chilly marine winds from Monterey Bay slow ripening, the grapes develop intense, concentrated flavors while retaining a brilliant, crisp acidity. The winemaking team carefully selects the finest lots, utilizing cold fermentation primarily in stainless steel to preserve the grape's natural vivacity, occasionally incorporating subtle lees stirring to build a rich, textured mouthfeel. This wine captures the essence of Monterey's cool-climate viticulture, offering a beautiful balance of bright citrus, exotic tropical fruit, and a distinctive mineral backbone that reflects the stony soils of the Salinas Valley.
