Hailing from the wind-swept vineyards of Monterey County, Scheid Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant expression of its cool-climate terroir. The Salinas Valley acts as a natural thermal wind tunnel, pulling chilly air from the deep Monterey Bay. This unique microclimate slows ripening, allowing the Sauvignon Blanc grapes to develop intense tropical fruit, citrus, and lemongrass aromas while retaining a racy, mouthwatering acidity. Fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks to preserve its pristine fruit character and crisp mineral edge, this wine captures the essence of Monterey's coastal influence.
